Sommaire
Biographie
Jeune instituteur, Félix Mazauric passait ses vacances à explorer les grottes cévenoles. Nommé à Camprieu en 1890, il effectua la traversée de l'abîme de Bramabiau le 15 septembre 1890. Cette traversée, réalisée deux ans auparavant par Édouard-Alfred Martel1, le marqua durablement. Mazauric explora inlassablement le réseau et en publia la topographie en 1893. Il participa à la création de la Société de spéléologie (actuelle Fédération française de spéléologie) le 1er février 1895. Spéléologue souvent solitaire, il explora de nombreuses cavités des causses méridionaux (Larzac, causse de Blandas et causse de Campestre) et dressa la première carte spéléologique de cette région. Mazauric étudia le bassin d'alimentation de la Foux de la Vis, dressa la cartographie du Canyon depuis Vissec où il dut être instituteur pendant 2 ans, et pénétra de quelques dizaines de mètres dans la source2. Les « Recherches spéléologiques dans le département du Gard 1904-1909 »3, publiées en juillet 1910 dans Spelunca, le bulletin de la Société de spéléologie, contribuèrent au développement de la spéléologie dans cette région karstique du sud du Massif central et inspirèrent de nombreux spéléologues tel Robert de Joly qui poursuivirent les recherches entreprises par Félix Mazauric. De santé fragile, il dut se ménager et fut alors nommé Conservateur des musées archéologiques et monuments romains de la ville de Nîmes en 1906.
Il est le père de Lucie Mazauric, épouse d'André Chamson et donc le grand-père de Frédérique Hébrard.
Félix Mazauric a été la première personnalité récompensée par la grande médaille du Club Cévenol en 1896.
