The Cuves de Sassenage is known for a very long time. It is the resurgence of a cave river which comes from the famous Gouffre Berger, one of the deepest caves of the world. This is close to the entry point and you can see 2 waterfal out of 3 in the picture.
The cave tour includes a light show which tells the story of the elf Melusine. It goes like this, Every Saturday, this young girl swam in the water of the river, transformed partly into a fish by her mother. But one day her husband saw her and so the secret was discovered, and the charm became irreversible. So Melusine could not become human any more and she went into exile in the cave. Only when a member of the family of the lords of Berenger was about to die, she came back to predict the death. While sitting in the cave she waited for her husband to free her, but he never came. Her tears rolled into the river Furon and were transformed into stones, so called eye stones.
And do that how the weekend was.
