Visit a major mining operation in Saint-Etienne, to learn more about the site and its miners.
The mine was dug in 1907 and began operations in 1919. It was the largest mining operation in the basin. The site, closed in 1973, was classified as a historical monument in 2011. Rediscover the route taken by these workers who started by going to the checkroom: the hanging room, then into the underground galleries by taking the elevator. This visit offers a glimpse of the danger and fear that these miners could feel because of the numerous blasts of firedamp.

Les explications sont passionnantes, y compris pour un enfant de 9 ans, on ne voit pas le temps passer !
Une visite dont on se souviendra longtemps !
En revanche :
- les adresses sur Google Map sont trompeuses
- le parking est extrêmement difficile à trouver
- l'accueil est déplorable
