Description
Morphology
The lower entrance measures 3 m x 1.5 m.
Progression
The lower entrance (3 m x 1.5 m) continues into a sloping gallery for about 30 metres, from which the upper entrance, situated 15 metres above, can be seen. One then arrives in front of a 5-metre step, at the base of which a window on the left gives access to a small gallery that goes no further.
