The Grottoes of Ferrand (French: Grottes de Ferrand) are a series of 17th-century artificial grottoes on the estate of the Château de Ferrand in Saint-Hippolyte, Gironde, in southwestern France, near the town of Saint-Émilion. Carved out of an escarpment hanging over the road to Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, the grottoes were designed as a network of interconnected chambers. Originally a lavish folly furnished with salons, bedrooms, orangeries, and shrines to mythic and political figures, the grottoes have long since been plundered and abandoned.
