Tips from the Community
Village which dates back to Gaulle (Gallic burials have been unearthed there) and of which we also find traces under the Gallo-Roman Empire. There we find the source of the Colombine and some beautiful buildings, including the cemetery chapel (listed as a Historic Monument) and the Notre-Dame de Leffond Chapel which dates from the 13th century. However, the village is best known for its vineyards. In the Middle Ages, the wines of Gy and Charcenne were already exported and we found them on the tables of nobles in the 16th century. The Guillaume family has been cultivating vines there since 1732 and has developed a highly specialized nursery business since 1895, recognized worldwide. The 43 hectares of vines therefore produce wine, awarded several times, but also serve as a support for the multiplication of vine plants. They therefore cultivate other grape varieties than those necessary for their production. And if you want to accompany your wine with a cheese, head to the Millet cheese dairy to taste a Charcennais or an Ortolan.

Description: The cavity looks like a wide gallery that you can easily cross following the asset until you reach the Chaos room. At this point, you take either a ramp, or a short meander traversed by the asset to reach a wide, easily traversable meander: the Galerie des Corniches. This ends at the start of a 13-meter wide shaft opening into the Balcony room. Halfway up this shaft, a 2.5-metre projection fitted with fixed gear gives access to the new network (not explored this time). At the bottom of P13, we find the river which flows in a long meander, wide at the start and a little narrower at the end (but which remains pleasant) and which comes up against an 8-meter well and two projections. It is after these three obstacles that one reaches the terminal siphon of the cavity at - 93 meters.

The Notre-Dame du Calvaire chapel dates from the 19th century and was built following a promise made by the parish priest, the Red priest. Erected in height, in a clearing, it is accessible by a stone path from the church of Gy and a porthole allows to distinguish the interior whose paintings have been recently restored, and where the blue color dominates what is without doubt to recall that of the mantle worn by the Virgin.
