Le trou du Renard opens through a narrow entrance onto a low gallery and an oblong chamber finely decorated with speleothems.
Description
Morphology
The entrance of the trou du Renard is narrow and, after a bend, leads onto a small low gallery. After twenty metres of descending passage, this gallery opens at the ceiling of a chamber via a two-metre step. An oblong chamber eleven metres long, seven wide and two to five metres high follows. A short gallery of five metres extends the chamber upward to the north, while to the south the floor is pierced by a four-metre pit.
Speleothems
The oblong chamber is finely but irregularly decorated with speleothems.
