Spéléodrome de Nancy, Underground training center in Villers-lès-Nancy, France.

The Spéléodrome extends through 4,800 meters of underground galleries, featuring limestone walls covered with white calcite deposits and cave formations.

Engineers constructed this underground aqueduct system between 1899 and 1906 to supply drinking water to Nancy during a period of population growth.

The Lorraine Speleological League manages the site, providing educational activities for students studying geology, hydrology, and natural cave formations.

Access to the galleries requires descending a 60-meter shaft, with visitors needing proper equipment and guidance from certified speleological instructors.

The gallery floor contains millions of cave pearls, formed naturally through limestone erosion, making it a significant geological formation site.
