It is better to be equipped to enter and of course to be supervised to discover this underground passage dug in Nancy at the end of the 19th century to satisfy the growing need for water. Water is still present and abundant in some places. Be careful with the slippery stairs. This underground was rehabilitated in the 1970s by the USAN (Union Spéléologique de l'Agglomération Nancéienne). Public events are also organized by the association to learn the practice, a great opportunity for novices and even the most advanced.

Founded in 1979, the association aims to coordinate the activities of sports groups and individual speleologists affiliated to the French Sports Federation (FFS). It provides a framework for caving enthusiasts to meet and explore natural and man-made underground environments. On the program: canyoning and scientific research. An unmissable event for underground enthusiasts.

Groupe Spéléo "Le Graoully" is a caving sports club based in Créhange. The club is registered as an association and has Jeunesse et Sports approval for caving activities. It offers a range of activities linked to the exploration of underground caves, such as discovery of the subterranean world, initiation to cave progression and pre-training. Caving can be enjoyed by people of all ages, but insurance is compulsory. The club provides specific basic equipment for safe practice, including a full harness, helmet with lighting system and caving suit. The equipment is rented out to beginners to avoid a heavy investment in the first year. The club also organizes week-long discovery sessions on France's major karstic massifs.
