Grotte Sainte-Reine, Prehistoric cave in Pierre-la-Treiche, France.
Sainte-Reine Cave extends through 1260 meters of natural galleries, making it the second largest cavity in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department.
Cave exploration began in the 18th century, leading to its classification as a historical monument in 1910 following the discovery of prehistoric bones.
The site preserves flint tools, Roman enameled glass objects, and cave bear bones representing different historical periods.
The cave sits on the right bank of the Moselle River and requires special permission from the municipality and National Forest Office for visits.
The cave galleries display geological formations dating back over 300,000 years, created by the ancient course of the Moselle River.
