The Villey-le-Sec Dam offers a great mix of stunning scenery and challenges for road cyclists. Located on the Moselle River, you'll ride on well-maintained paths and enjoy views of this relaxing river.

A good steep hill for me, requires a bit of training to climb it, especially the second part.

The Sainte-Reine cave or Sainte-Reine hole is the second natural cavity in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle in terms of known development and has been classified as a historic monument since 1910. It has several entrances classified under the general name of "Caves known as Trou de Sainte-Reine" and was originally part of an endokarst under the bottom of the Moselle valley.

The lock and dam are managed by Voies Navigables de France. Construction of the hydroelectric power plant began in May 1986. It is attached to the dam. As the name suggests, the structure is used to generate electricity by taking advantage of the waterfall caused by the dam. The power plant does not operate during periods of high or low water. It is managed by EDF. [https://www.villeylesec.fr/L-ecluse-et-le-barrage?lang=fr]

In these caves you are supposed to have strong knees because the passages in the caves are very low.
