Some stalagmites featured in the Aven Armand cave

Aven Armand is a limestone cave located in the Cévennes National Park of France, in the Lozère département, between Meyrueis and Sainte-Enimie known for the tallest known stalagmite of 30 meters.

History

It was first scientifically explored by the French explorers Louis Armand and Édouard-Alfred Martel in 1897.[1][2] The cave begins as a narrow pit, descending Шаблон:Convert before opening up into an enormous vaulted chamber known as the Шаблон:Lang, or "Great Hall".[1]

The Grand Salle is close to Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide.[1] The floor is covered with a proliferation of fragile limestone speleothems in a variety of shapes and sizes, created by the slow dripping of water through the stone over thousands of years. Some have reached heights of close to Шаблон:Convert.[1]

It has been open to the public since 1927, after a man-made tunnel and walkway paths were created to permit easier viewing of the Grand Salle.[3]

In popular culture

In June 2017, French singer Nolwenn Leroy used the Aven Armand cave as a setting for the music video of her single "Gemme".[4]
