Members' reviews on THE ADVENTURE OF THE MINES - ASSO. ASEPAM
Ces mines taillées à main d'homme au XVIeme sont uniques.
Le site de type "parc d'attraction" voisin est beaucoup plus "commercial" et moins authentique. D'ailleurs ils ont même un magasin de souvenir à la sortie....
Notre guide pour notre visite de la mine St Louis est non seulement férue d'histoire mais aussi de géologie. Impossible de la coller par nos nombreuses questions ! ^^
