Aven Armand is a limestone cave located in the Cévennes National Park of France, in the Lozère department. It was first explored by the French explorers Louis Armand and Édouard-Alfred Martel in 1897. The cave begins as a narrow pit, descending 75 meters before opening up into an enormous vaulted chamber. The chamber, known as the Great Hall is close to 100 meters long and 55 meters wide. The floor is covered with a proliferation of fragile limestone speleothems in a variety of shapes and sizes, created by the slow dripping of water through the stone over thousands of years, some have reached heights of close to 30 meters.
