The Arville Cave is located near Arville Castle in Faulx-les-Tombes and consists of several smaller cavities collectively known as the "Arville Caves." The most famous cavity is the actual Arville Cave (also known as the Trou du Chantoir), which is located on the northern slope of a paleokarst depression. This depression has a nearly permanent pond at its bottom, the water level of which varies with the seasons. The caves are not open to the public or tourists. They are primarily an interesting karst area for geological and local nature walks.

The Arville cave is a karst site made up of nine different caves aligned over around fifty meters. You can explore the Grotte d'Arville proper, a small cave about a hundred meters in size, or the Trou de la Gueule de Bois, a larger cave measuring 208 meters in diameter with some narrow passages. You can also enjoy the landscapes of Château d'Arville, a historic castle with a pond and park, or Bois d'Arville and Bois des Pauvres, two forests with hiking trails and diverse flora and fauna. The Grotte d'Arville is a hidden gem for caving enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Trou Mairiat is a former quarry located near the village of Custinne. It's a popular spot for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, as it offers picturesque views of the hills and wooded valleys. A fun activity is to search for fossils of ancient sea creatures embedded in the limestone rocks along the path. These fossils date back to the Devonian period, about 400 million years ago, when this area was covered by a shallow sea. You can also appreciate the variety of flora and fauna that inhabit this region, such as wild orchids, butterflies, and birds of prey. Trou Mairiat is an ideal destination for nature lovers and history buffs.

Located near Arville Castle in Faulx-les-Tombes (commune of Gesves), this karst site known for a long time by SSN cavers was studied for the first time in 1985-86. Nine karst phenomena, aligned over around fifty meters, were inventoried there. All of the cavities have been included under the name “Arville caves”. However, it should be noted that physical communication between these various holes has not been established. To the West, a vast circular depression located at the edge of the path, known under the (incorrect!) name of Arville chantoir, has all the characteristics of a paleokarst emptied by human activity. The bottom is occupied by an almost permanent pond whose level varies with the seasons. On its northern slope there is a small cavity about a hundred meters wide, the Arville cave itself (or Trou du Chantoir). Towards the east, a series of small holes which look more like burrows than caves, all belong to the same system. Some of them are traversed by a very perceptible current of air. On January 2, 1986, Jean-Pierre Romain, accompanied by Christian Perret, widened a narrowing in one of the holes and progressed more than a hundred meters. Let's move on from the circumstances and hazards of this unblocking... The cave was named by its authors "the Hangover or January 2 hole"! Further east, a series of small impenetrable sinkholes completes the whole. In the deepest, a limestone outcrop is visible. https://blog.ssn-speleo-namur.be/les-grottes/topotheque/arville/

Recommended with children! At the back of the cave you will find a passage, which takes you through a long, narrow and pitch dark corridor (bring a flashlight!) to another exit.
