From the large entrance of Trou Madame, a spacious stooping-height passage with a sandy floor unfolds.

Depending on water levels, a short crawl of 10 to 20 meters may be required before reaching the deeper swimming section. The lake itself can extend up to 50 meters before reaching the point where the passage sumps.
