Hiking

The Devil's Cave in Hautes-Rivières is a natural wonder formed by the erosion of limestone rock by the Semoy River. You can access it by taking the Chemin des Petites Croix, a steep and wooded path which offers beautiful views of the valley. The cave is not very deep, but it is impressive with its high vault and its stalactites and stalagmites. You can also explore Roc la Tour, a rock formation with quartzite columns that resembles a castle.

Hiking

What Paul_C said above is nonsense. There is NO "chemin des petitte croix" in this region, although there is one in central and southern France. It's nowhere to be found. So please, if we're going to share information, please make it CORRECT. This cave is only accessible via a few unnamed forest paths.
