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.
Research FAIRCHILD and ITEK photographs: Danny Caes
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.
