Aze Caves, France
Grotte d'Azé is two caves that include a prehistoric grotto which stretches for 350 meters and an underground river that runs for at least 1,350 meters. The cave is thought to be the oldest inhabited cave in eastern France, with remains dating back at least 400,000 years to the Acheulian period.
