Guided tour through the galleries in the footsteps of the miners
The dukes of Lorraine began mining copper at Le Thillot in 1560, and black powder, a revolutionary technique for extracting ore with explosives, was first used here. The guided tour takes you into the galleries in the footsteps of the miners, to understand the organization of the site and to observe the pumping equipment that has remained on site for over two centuries after the mines closed. You can visit the Saint-Thomas and Saint-Charles mines, the Maison des Hautes-Mynes and the Rouge Montagne mine.

Super visite, le guide est très enthousiaste.
Attention il y a pas mal de marche en pente !
The museum and the actual mines are 3 km apart.
The map at the site is a bit confusing so some extra signs would be good. At the site there is a bit of hiking to do, on some areas the terrain is abrupt and rocky or with stairs.
