Igue de la Crousate, Natural cave in Gramat, France
The Igue de la Crousate extends 150 meters in length and reaches a depth of 92 meters within the limestone formations of Quercy.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 1888 revealed animal bones and artifacts indicating human presence in the cave since Neolithic times.
The cave's name reflects the regional Occitan language heritage, with 'igue' being a local term for vertical cave openings.
The entrance of the cave sits at an altitude of 340 meters and connects to the underground Ouysse River through a network of water infiltrations.
The Tours Speleological Club discovered additional sections of the cave in 1979, expanding knowledge of its geological structure.
