Description

Morphology

Entrance n°1, of modest dimensions (0.5 m in diameter), gives access to a 14-metre shaft. This shaft ends in a 3-metre-long scree slope.

On the right, a chamber develops; at the end of it, a small step gives access to the salle de la dernière, whose dimensions are interesting.

Continuing from the scree slope, after a narrow passage, a small climb gives access to the salle des cheminées. Below, on the right, a narrow P3 develops; on the left, 2 fine chimneys overlook the chamber. Access to the following chamber is gained by passing near a blade. On arriving in this chamber, one notes the presence of a small scree slope lit by the P12 of entrance n°2. On the left, a passage high up leads to a chamber, while continuing on, 3 small flows announce the end of the visit[ref]Fichier des cavités du Var > Aven Agate (numéro 2053163) : http://www.fichiertopo.fr/display.php?details=1&indexid=98[/ref].
