The Grotte de Sabinus is a natural cave located near the source of the Marne in Balesmes-sur-Marne. According to legend, this cave was the hiding place of Julius Sabinus, a Gallic leader who rebelled against Rome in the first century CE, and his wife Eponine. You can explore the cave, approximately 20 meters deep, 30 meters long, 3 meters wide and 1.3 meters high, and imagine the lives of the fugitives who spent nine years there. The site also offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and a picnic area.
