    This portion is really top, we pass in several troglodyte sites.
    But watch out for the ribs, short but intense!

    At this location you are in the middle of an underground labyrinth of Souzay-Champigny.

    Explanation: underground, in the cliffs and hills, the troglodytes of Saumurois form an enormous underground network. These are unique in France. More than 1 km of tunnels have been dug by man over the centuries to live, shelter and work.

    Here you can literally dive into a cool past.
