COMITÉ SPÉLÉOLOGIQUE DÉPARTEMENTAL DU FINISTÈRE

Plougastel-Daoulas, in the Finistère department, is home to the Comité Spéléologique Départemental. This committee represents the Fédération Française de Spéléologie in the region, and is made up of members and clubs affiliated to the federation. Its main missions are to promote caving in the department, manage and protect caves, and help cavers with training and safety. Finistère currently has just one club, Gaspar in Plougastel-Daoulas. However, the committee hopes to generate sufficient interest to set up a second club, particularly in the south of the department where there are some interesting caves, such as Cap Sizun and the Cozon peninsula. Every year, the committee takes part in the Journées Nationales de la Spéléologie et du Canyon, organizing local events for the general public, such as exhibitions, film screenings and introductory courses.
