People have been exploring the depths of the Padirac Cave since the 15th-Century, when local inhabitants excavated potassium nitrate from the area. It is believed that the cave has existed since the 3rd-Century, when the roof of rock fell into a large cavern deep within the earth. The chasm itself stretches down 99 meters (325 feet) and was first extensively explored by Édouard-Alfred Martel in 1889. The cave system was first opened up to tourists in 1899. Today, tourists can descend into the cavern via stairs or a lift and explore its dark depths either on foot or by boat, which navigates the underground river that flows through the cave system.
