Grottes de Bèze, Underground cave system in Bèze, France.
The limestone cave network extends over 2,800 meters with a vertical drop of 26 meters, featuring an underground river and naturally formed chambers.
The initial chamber, known as Crétanne Room, dates back to medieval times and served as a shelter during periods of invasion in the region.
The cave system supports a diverse ecosystem, including an endemic species of Burgundian crustacean and multiple bat populations in its natural environment.
Visitors can explore the caves from April through October through combined walking and boat tours that last approximately 50 minutes at 12 degrees Celsius.
A 150-million-year-old plesiosaur fossil was photographed by speleologists in one of the cave chambers during June 2024.
