Goule de Foussoubie, Cave entrance in Labastide-de-Virac, France.
The Goule de Foussoubie forms a network of underground galleries stretching over 23 kilometers with a depth difference of 138 meters in Ardèche.
Explorers GAUPILLAT and ARMAND conducted initial investigations of the cave system, leading to the discovery of its extensive underground network and geological formations.
The cave entrance contains three post holes carved into limestone, arranged across the gallery, suggesting possible ancient human activities at the site.
During heavy rainfall, the cave system experiences rapid flooding, making it essential for visitors to check weather conditions and obtain proper permits before exploration.
The cave system supports specialized wildlife, including unpigmented crustaceans and endemic amphipods found exclusively in this karst environment.
