The Maison du Mineur (Miner's House) in La Grand-Combe, with its museum and mining machine room
The museum bears witness to the era of anthracite mining, an activity inextricably linked with the history of the commune. The entrance hall quickly sets the tone for an industry that flourished for over a century: 180 showers and 1,800 baskets awaited miners here at the beginning and end of the day. The only one of its kind in Europe, the mining machine room is impressive in its operation. The Maison du Mineur is a moving reminder not only of economic history, but also of political and social history, from the miners' daily lives to the workers' struggles.

Bonne visite
Nous avons effectué la visite de la maison du mineur en juillet 2021. Visite bien intéressante et qui entretient le souvenir des mineurs. Bonne continuation pour ce lieu qui à le mérite d exister.

C'est un site intéressant et émouvant. On y découvre les conditions de travail extrêmement difficiles des mineurs mais également leur solidarité dans les épreuves. La mine était l'une des principales ressources de cette région des Cévennes. A la fermeture des sites d'exploitation de charbon, les villages se sont peu à peu dépeuplés.
