About

With more than 85 visitors per season, the municipal caves of Regulus are a must-see site
tourism in Charente-Maritime, located 15 km from Royan.

Overlooking the Gironde estuary and carved into limestone cliffs, the “holes” of Meschers welcome you in an exceptional setting.
Originally natural, the Meschers caves were enlarged by man to become troglodyte habitats in the 19th century.
The Cagouille Rally: in the spirit of a stroll, the Régulus site welcomes groups of children aged 3 to 12 (school and extra-school) to discover the Caves of Meschers. The Rally is organized around three objectives: discovery and understanding of the functioning of an estuary, awareness of the estuary ecosystem and especially its fragility, understanding of the ancient and contemporary troglodyte phenomenon.
The Minidik and Ladybubulle Track Games: during the visit, children and adults are invited to answer the questions asked by the little shrimp Minidik and the pirate Lady Bubulle, to participate in the end-of-season draw and win great prizes. nice prizes!
