The dive
In summer the water is a few metres below the rim. It looks clear, but expect very poor visibility on entry. After rain the spring starts flowing quickly.
Profile and sections
In summer the water is a few metres below the rim. It looks clear, but expect very poor visibility on entry. After rain the spring starts flowing quickly. After S1 comes an underground river of about 200 m, with side passages to unexplored sumps; after S3 the cave ends after ~200 m in a boulder choke.
The system is ~1,300 m long, 519 m of it underwater. Michel Letrône visited the spring in 1957; in 1987 the restrictions were passed and S1 crossed, and in 1992–1993 Pascal Bernabé and Jean-Pierre Stéfanato relined it, passed S1–S3 and surveyed it.
Practical: camping allowed.

How to get there
Commune of Féneyrols (Tarn-et-Garonne). From Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val take the D115 towards Cordes-sur-Ciel; ~200 m after the left turn to Féneyrols the pool is on the right, just below the road, with a large car park just before it. The descent to the water is steep and slippery; rope from the old fence post on the rim.
