La Grande baume is a vast cavity with a ceiling that alternates between low passages and a vault reaching almost ten meters.
Description
Morphology
The cave is vast. a built wall, certainly by the shepherd, separates the front zone, reserved for the flock because it is relatively flat and has a clear floor, from the rear part, more cluttered with blocks and concretions and therefore far less passable. In places, the low ceiling alternates with the vault that rises almost ten meters high.
Speleothems
The second part of the cavity shows several pieces of an ancient stalagmitic floor that has now partly disappeared, whose remains rest on a few pillars. The cavity must have been almost filled by concretion growth at a distant time before being deepened and losing a large part of this floor.
Progression
Behind the wall and on the right side (going toward the back), a dig has been started and gives the low point of the cavity. At the very back, beneath the stalagmitic floor, a dig has cleared an alcove with a narrow access.
