40 Years of Explorations and Studies
In 1984 and 1985, our exploration of a series of souterrains (underground refuges) in the region of Tours (France) marked the transition from a teenage passion for underground refuges to the rational study of these cavities. From the outset, we were motivated by the desire to share our knowledge and our understanding of what we already considered to be a social phenomenon that had left its mark on the Western France countryside during the Middle Ages. This would open the doors of a world that could hardly be imagined, which never ceased to surprise and amaze us. This would lead us on an unbroken and always renewed quest for cavities across France, but also elsewhere in Europe, Turkey, West Africa, Iran and Vietnam. A quest that would take us on uncommon adventures, provide us with exceptional encounters, make us write a lot and gradually turn us into specialists in the subject. To mark this anniversary, we have completed the souvenir album opened in 2017 for the 30th anniversary of our first book.
