Enter our underground world, and discover the original flavors of a fouée meal in a majestic setting. Our "rooms" more than 12 meters high, carved into the rock will amaze you!
Several million years ago, the sea withdrew from the region of Doué-la-Fontaine. The shell rock called "Falun" was extracted from the subsoil for the construction of houses. The troglodyte was born and left as evidence splendid underground cathedrals of 12 to 20 m. Les Cathédrales de la Saulaie is a troglodyte restaurant, located about 20 meters below street level. It is installed in an old underground quarry of falun stone. Welcome to this grandiose universe!
