On the other side of the train tracks up the hill are the wild undeveloped karst caves of Fourbanne, a dream for fans of speleology. Bring good light, rugged cloths, and wear your helmet (you're biking, so you have a helmet!). https://inpn.mnhn.fr/zone/znieff/430013670 See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nxTiEY92I8
