A must in the loop of the rent. Accessible to everyone as long as you don't feel dizzy. For the more experienced, it is possible to take the chimney to go to the upper plateau, attention expert level.

Hiking

One of the most visited caves in the French Jura, also because of the beautiful source just a few meters below - Source du Ponet.

Hiking

This cave is superb. It has been unblocked several times and archaeological traces trace the human presence from the Neolithic to the present day. Bring a headlamp to explore this cave and its many rooms in more depth, but first find out about periods of calm and lethargy for the bats (you are in their home there)
