Dargilan is a very, VERY small place I ran through on my way to Veyreau. Essentially the only thing it has to offer is some really killer pink caves. Funny story about them though. They were discovered by a man who was hunting a fox or something. He stumbled into the caves, and thought he had accidentally found hell! He ran back to the town and told everyone that he found the under world. Someone talked him down, and decided to make it a tourist attraction.

Frankly, it's quite a dandy. Really nice tour, and some neat sights. Funny thing was that there's big signs all around the caves saying that it's COLD in the caves, and only 10 degrees celsius. It turned out that this was warmer than it was outside. ugh!

Here's the little tourist trap house thing at the top of the hill. You can buy all kinds of nonsense here, including Magnum bars.

The entrance to the caves. I'm sure it looked a bit different when the dude originally stumbled onto them.

This is one of the larger rooms towards the bottom of the cave. Very spooky!

I seem to recall that this was the main room. This thing seemed to go on forever.

A close up shot of the rocks. They look wet and gooey! They are indeed wet, but they're as hard as, well, rock. Seeing as how that's what it is, I guess that makes sense in a strange sort of way.
