Nature
The Gouffre des Espéluques is associated with hiking and caving. It is home to rare bats and birds as well as lush fern vegetation. Following a collapse, a chasm 20 metres deep, 30 metres long and 22 metres wide was formed there.
Since 27 December 2022, public access to the cliffs and the interior of the Gouffre des Espéluques has been prohibited. In the heart of Dions, almost 600 female individuals of the species Murins à oreilles échancrées were discovered in a barn.
