Aven du Paradet

Most of the network consists of "galleries-halls" showing Un collapse of the vault and walls, 5 to 15 m wide, distributed over the surface of Un dome whose access P 22 to the cavity opens at the top of the entrance hall.

The Salle du Fakir is remarkable for its walls bristling with calcite crystals.

From the entrance hall, three ways are possible. To the South: a skylight gives passage to the Salle de la Lucarne, which joins the East galleries by its eastern extension. To the East: the East galleries form Un labyrinthine complex and communicate with the North network by two narrow meanders (Jonction Liober 78 and galerie des Cristaux). To the West: Un 2 to 3 m step gives access to the Salle de la Trifurcation; to the South, one reaches the Salle du Morse, then the galerie W; to the N, a steeply descending slope interspersed with several steps leads to the lowest point of the cavity at -63.5 m in the Salle Pornographique. At the first step, while descending, Un system of ledges allows one to reach the access meanders to the East galleries. The Salle Pornographique, oriented E-W, rises at each of its ends: the eastern rise ends in a narrow gallery from which Un intermittent draught blows; the northern rise opens through Un R 3 into the gallery that ends in the Salle du Fakir. Below the entrance hall, Un P 8 has been descended, stopping at an unstable cone of debris; digging in progress (OURNIE B.).
