Grotte des Italiens

You pass the pile of blocks that masks the entrance on the right; you descend over slabs to reach a very fine gallery more than 10 metres wide and 4 to 5 metres high. The floor is at -7m relative to the entrance. On the left, an earth slope leads into a pocket parallel to the gallery which is in fact the arrival of a chimney (top at +7m). It is cluttered with an enormous collapsed block that must be skirted to reach the upper part. The main gallery continues for 35 metres with the same proportions then rises slightly as the ceiling lowers (-4m). You then enter the second part of the cavity. A dead-end side passage on the left. The gallery descends again into a chamber occupied by a flat slab. On the right, a passage with a low start reaches -10m and communicates through a constriction with the other part. On the left, a narrow section leads onto a gour, the low point of the cavity (-12m), which precedes the terminus, blocked by fill.

The second part of the cavity is reached by passing through a zone of speleothems that arrives behind the gallery at -10.

On the left, a narrow section leads onto a gour sometimes full of water, the low point of the cavity (-12m).
