A ‘beautiful book’ was published in the summer of 2025 to celebrate the ninety years since the discovery of the Aven Orgnac cave (Ardèche, France), which is part of the Grands Sites de France network. This illustration, featured in the book and accompanied by other artist-photographers, is published by Sept Edition and available on their website. It is available here as a illustrated parchment.

A complimentary copy of the book ‘Aven d’Orgnac Underground Cathedral’ for the first nine orders of this scroll.

If connoisseurs can easily identify the Aven Orgnac cave thanks to a few specific architectural features, this illustration will also easily recall the beauty of other well-known caves.

We talk about the book and this cave scroll here: ‘Des Livres et Vous’ programme on RCF radio.
