A mine housing the Maison de l'or en Limousin, and organizing gold panning courses on the banks of the Isle at Le Chalard
The Bourneix gold mine, in the commune of Le Chalard, was the last to be exploited in France (closed in 2002). It is now home to the Maison de l'or en Limousin, which reveals everything about the mining of the precious metal in the region from the Gauls to the 21st century, including the gold rush of the 1900s: objects, personal accounts, photos... In summer, gold panning courses are organized on the banks of the Isle, and a gold panning competition is held for children.
