JEAN-MARIE SOMET MINE MUSEUM

This museum, named after its creator, Jean-Marie Somet, a former village miner and survivor of the infamous Chana disaster, displays many remains of Villars' mining past. Testimonies (objects, writings...) evoking trimmings and local history are also presented. This small museum, with its rich collections, managed by the Association du Vieux Villars, has just been renovated and opened again after four years of work. This museum allows you to discover or rediscover the history of Villars, which had an important past but which is still not well known today
