Les itinérances du patrimoine: conference on the Soucy hollow

The Creux de Soucy is the only explorable chasm in Auvergne, but access to it is extremely dangerous. Its formation and operation are enigmas that scientists are trying to solve with the logistical support of the Groupe des Spéléogues Auvergnats. This conference will give us an insight into the current state of scientific research and the avenues still to be explored. The talk will be followed by a fun time sharing with the cavers (you can see, touch and handle the caving equipment). The biological station was set up in the 19th century to give scientists a foothold in Besse, so that they could be close to research sites in geology, volcanology, natural sciences, limnology, etc. In the 21st century, the commune of Besse is proud of this continuity and that its territory is as rich in scientific discoveries as ever.
