Origin and history

The French Museum of Speleology is located in the commune of Courniou, in the Occitanie region. This museum is entirely dedicated to spelology, a scientific and sports discipline focused on studying and exploring underground cavities. This is a unique space in France, highlighting collections, tools and testimonials related to this practice.

Although the precise historical details of its creation or evolution are not mentioned in the available sources, this type of museum generally plays a key role in preserving the underground natural heritage. It also raises public awareness of the protection issues of caves and karst environments, while enhancing the techniques and discoveries associated with this activity.
