Caventou is noticeable on Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic frames AS15-P-10278 and AS15-P-10283 (at both frames: scroll to the right).
Orbital FAIRCHILD-metric/mapping photographs of Caventou, made during the mission of Apollo 15:
- REV 60's frames 2069 to 2073, of which frame 2071 shows Caventou about "halfway" between the frame's centre and right margin.
- REV 62's frames 2182 to 2186, of which frame 2184 shows Caventou about "halfway" between the frame's centre and right margin.
- REV 63's frames 2326 to 2330, of which frame 2328 shows Caventou about "halfway" between the frame's centre and right margin.
- REV 70's frames 2466 to 2469, of which frame 2467 shows Caventou near the central part of the frame's right margin.
- REV 72's frames 2733 to 2737, of which frame 2735 shows Caventou near the central part of the frame's right margin.

Believe it or not, small rimless Caventou is also detectable on Chart 21 of the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (C.A.Wood/ M.Collins). Its location is F3, slightly to the right of the unnamed twin which looks like some sort of astronomer's "binary system". - DannyCaes Oct 5, 2013

Description
Caventou is a small rimless pit, but... is it a volcanic collapse or an impact crater whose outside is surrounded by mare lavas? No evidence of lava flowing over rim so probably a volcanic collapse. This is the type of inconspicuous crater that should not have been given a name, rather than keeping its historic designation of La Hire D. Other examples of such small inconspicuous IAU-named craters: Amontons and Pupin.

Additional Information
- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Viscardy, 1985: 0.4 km
- The shadow in LO-IV-133H indicates a depth of about 365 m. - Jim Mosher
- LRO altimetry suggests 300 m {CAW)
Nomenclature
- Joseph-Bienaimé; French chemist, pharmacologist (1795-1877).
- This replacement name for a formerly lettered crater was introduced on LTO 40A1 (for which it served as the chart title). - Jim Mosher
- Misspelled as Cavantou on Map 8 in The Hatfield Photographic Lunar Atlas (Springer, 1999).- DannyCaes Jan 26, 2013
- Although it is a very small craterlet, Caventou' (the name) is printed on the National Geographic Societys revised and reprinted map THE EARTH'S MOON (2014). - DannyCaes Oct 11, 2015
