"It was interesting. You can imagine how these poeple lived only 100 years ago. The information voice recordings were very instructive. There is a total of 3-4 cave-houses to visit. We were expecting maybe long running caves that could take hours to visit. This was not the case. Its like a small farme that was restorated. You can really visit the entire site in 1 hour if you push it. The food was good - the duck rillettes are the best of the filling choice. The flavored butter fillings are good but too fatty."

Can one be here around Saumur without going through a troglodytal experience? I think not. We went to Rochemenier, it rained and we decided to give the restaurant a try. We didn't know about it ( how strange) and were welcomed by a very sweet and gentil patronne. She asked if we had a reservation, ( you should make one!!!) and we were lucky to get a table. As stiff and reserved as our countryfolk is about drinking wine for lunch, we soon learned that we are in France, non? As a lot of French restaurants think one has the plague when one whispers that one is a veggie, the patronne started thinking in solutions. Lovely entree with mushrooms, delicious beans, salad, all accompanied with hot fouaces and butter. An excursion to the caves, and seeing the baker making our good bread at a 1000 year old oven. After our return: cheese, desert, coffee. We remembered that we came for the troglo experience, ( why) and not for the food and wine. Highly recommended experience!
Just eaten at the Genevraie troglodyte restaurant. Just had to sign in to write a review. Amazing..... Our 2 kids (9&11) LOVED it... A surprise for them. I did all the research of various similar restaurants in the area and chose this one because of the reviews. They did not disappoint. Brilliant from start to finish. Great service, friendly, efficient yet not rushed. Plentiful food, all based around foccacia bread freshly baked in the cave. Various fillings. Definitely left there full up and fill of lovely memories. The invite to tour the caves after the main course was a great treat for all of us and again a lovely surprise for the kids. Can totally recommend. A MUST try for anyone. Yes a novel surrounding but we have eaten at many many restaurants as a family over the years but my son reckons this is one of the best ever. My daughter even tried and LIKED the mushroom based foccacia starter. Thank you for a memorable evening.
We did not expect this when we arrived at the cave hotel next door. It was packed out but as it was a nice evening they let us sit outside to eat. It's a set menu of a local speciality the fouace with mushrooms, beans, meat plus cheese and salad and a delightful pear and chocolate tart plus an aperitif and bottle of red wine all for €24 per head Super value and great food and ambiance Plus you get a tour of the caves and see the 1000 year old working oven where the fouace are made- brilliant Authentic hearty food and friendly staff - a real taste of France Recommended
Having travelled to Lourdes over the past decade, this May (2016) was the first I ever revisited these caves with a school pilgrimage group. All I can say, is that I wished I had discovered this sooner! It was by far one of the best attractions I have ever been to! Fully breath taking and the variation of scenery was simply epic. The train ride at the end was especially excellent! At a brilliant price of 9.5€ (if I remember correctly). Warning - to those who are not able to walk or have difficulties walking down stairs, I wouldn't recommend this for you.
