Best guidebook for Doubs caves?

[CavingForLemons]

Or online resources

Looking for route descriptions, topos and surveys for classic Doubs trips - which book(s) would people reccommend I try to get hold of?

There is a PDF guide translated into English. I can send it by email if you let me have your email address by direct message?

Unsolicited advice: The guided through trip on the Swiss border (name escapes me) is well worth it - you exit approximately one metre from a caving hut. Take sandwiches I can send an email address of someone in Switzerland who can help organise, if useful. The one with lots of swimming (Grotte de Chauveroche) is also really good, but I found it really cold even in a wetsuit and we didn't get as far as we thought we would (we assumed the guidebook was over egging it)

Grotte de Milandre

Is that the one where you come out up a 30 m (ish) shaft after going upstream from what was once a show cave? If so I've done that and I can highly recommend it. Excellent streamway with loads of cascades and some nice formations. From memory it may be best done in a wetsuit. Very much like Dales caving. Avoid if rain is forecast.
I remember it had to be planned it in advance with the Swiss folk but they were very helpful.
