    The Trou des Saracens is a karst cave formed several million years ago. Used since the Neolithic era, this site served as a refuge and habitat. The waters deposited stones containing iron ore, called “Sarrazin” by the local inhabitants, supplying the Virelles forges until the 18th century. Today, the cave is protected for its archaeological and ecological value, particularly for the hibernation of bats.
