Le Grand Filon is an unusual area, rising to an altitude of 900 metres, where you can discover the world of mining through the ages.
Perched at an altitude of 900 metres, the Grand Filon site is an exceptional place for anyone interested in mining and geological history. This unique site invites visitors to discover the former iron ore mines that shaped the region's industrial history (700 years of mining history unfold before their eyes). The Galerie Saint-Louis, the school of yesteryear, the permanent exhibition, the metallurgical park and an amazing escape game! Legend has it that this ore was even used to forge Durandal, Roland's sword, in the 12th century.
