Grottes d'Azé, Show cave in Azé, France

The Grottes d'Azé features two distinct cave sections within a limestone massif, containing stalactites, stalagmites, and an underground river carving through rock formations.

Archaeological excavations in the caves have uncovered numerous tools and artifacts, indicating one of the earliest human settlements in the Saône-et-Loire department.

The caves serve as an educational center where visitors learn about geological processes, prehistoric human life, and natural cave formation through guided presentations.

Visitors can access the cave system throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages and parking facilities near the entrance.

The cave system contains rare jellyfish-shaped rock formations and cave pearls, alongside an educational trail called Sentier des Ours through limestone grasslands.
