About this ebook
It happened in 1887, in the south of France. A now unknown man was exploring the hills near the town of Saint-Gaudens. He was only 25 miles (40 km) from the border of Spain, in an area with lots of caves nestled into the soft rock and steep cliffs.
Suddenly he came upon an opening in the rock. He pushed aside the bush covering the hole and looked into a long tunnel.
The man decided to explore the cave. He lit a torch and slowly made his way forward. Inside he found a number of passageways and caverns.
Find out what he found deep in the caves in this strange but true tale.
