The Privat family has been specialists in Catalan garnet since 1945. A circuit leads you from the exhibition hall (400m2) where old tools are on display, to the reconstructed garnet mine. A guide accompanies you and tells you the history of this jewel. A video will tell you more about the manufacturing process: the garnet is a mythical stone that culturally symbolises Catalonia and represents truth and fidelity. Finally, the workshops where the Privat family works in front of you.

Cest une visite originale et peu onéreuse (3€ pour les adultes) et les bijoux en magasin sont magnifiques. Le personnel est très accueillant....je recommande ????

C'est une visite instructive sur un savoir-faire exceptionnel. La société a su évoluer avec son temps tout en gardant des méthodes de fabrication artisanales. Admirer le travail et voir la réalisation d'un bijou est remarquable. Comment résister à la tentation de ramener un souvenir traditionnel de la région d'autant plus qu'il y en a pour tous les goûts et toutes les bourses.

It is a visit of the workshops of a company of art from the size of garnet. Informative and interesting to see this purely Catalan.

Who does not like to take home a pretty precious memory? here is the right place for you. It shows you objects from super quality without trying to sell you anything at all costs to you. Garnet - so symbolic for the region - in all its splendour. To see!
A beautiful place visit, thank you the weather, if not I would never visited. I loved the workshops where you are hidden nothing, meets all your questions and does not force you sale, because you fissure alone.
