This is the Fosse Dionne: The mystery of the “bottomless pit” where divers die trying to explore it

Still with the technological and scientific progress of the world, enigmas remain unsolved. One of them is the Fosse Dionne, a well where several people have found death trying to discover the origin or its depth.

The place became a tourist spot because of the enigma it represents to society and because of the path it has traced since the oldest civilizations.

Fosse Dionne: a “bottomless pit”

The Fosse Dionne is located in France, in the center of a town called Tonerre, in the Burgundy region. For years, the French used this flow as a public swimming pool and now it is a very touristic site in the region, according to El Tiempo.

This well was originally found by the Romans. When they arrived, the flow was already there and they decided to start building a civilization around it.

For years, the inhabitants of Tonerre visited the place and used the water for their daily tasks such as washing, drinking and bathing. At that time, the well was not considered a mystery, so no one tried to get to the bottom of it.

However, the Romans were not the only civilization that arrived and settled in this place. It is said that the Celts also settled there. For centuries, they considered the water from the well to be a sacred source.

From public swimming pool to enigma

Later, the flow happened to be in French territory. For a long time, the inhabitants of the town used its waters as a public swimming pool and that was when they realized that the bottom of the well was not close.

Citizens of the region became increasingly interested in finding out how deep it was and how much water it contained. The intrigue was so great that they themselves took expert divers to inspect the area.

Three divers died trying to reach the bottom

In 1974, two professional divers arrived in Tonerre to enter the waters of this mysterious place, but after they entered, they could not get out and lost their lives in the attempt, according to La Razón.

Years later, in 1996, the French authorities hired another professional diver to dive into the well until they found the bottom. He also died in the water.

The last person to try to unravel this mystery was Pierre-Éric Deseigne, a professional diver who entered the deep waters of the Fosse Dionne in 2018.

Deseigne found caves, limestone rocks and narrow passages, but he only managed to descend 70 meters. After realizing that he had only covered a small part of the depths of the well, he had to return to the surface.

Although he managed to survive this adventure, the inhabitants of the region and the world still do not know where the bottom of Fosse Dionne is.
