Very instructive. Deserves to be advertised. It is actually mine galleries built by students of the local mining school. The guide knew his stuff. He made the visit most interesting.

It’s an exceptional place to know the history and challenges of mining and dig deeper into it in all meanings. I think it’s both interesting and exciting. You get some facts and go through a true mine. You should book your tour in advance. We wonted to have it in English but I was said that it was possible in French only. But I got some printed info so it was enough. The guide could speak English and answer any questions

Such a great visit! Wonderful guide and great presentation. Unique, a must-see in the region.

Very nice learning experience for a family with kids in the learning age, capable of understanding how excruciatingly hard the miner's life must have been. We arrived late and without reservation but they were able to accommodate us regardless. Wholeheartedly recommend this for insight and learning.

Absolutely fantastic experience to discover the life and the history of the miners. The guide was extremely enthusiastic to give the full history of how the workings of the miner's and there mining families lived. Highly recommend

Fascinating historical site with very helpful staff. There was also a lovely food truck where we could get chips, burgers, pancakes, ice creams, coffees and drinks. The only downside as an English speaker was that there are no signs in English and the tour and video are fully in French. I have some French but children do not. There is a small English handout that you can read yourself but it would be lovely if it included some more of what's covered in the tour. Also, I would caution anyone with mobility restrictions similar to my own from taking the tour. I use one walking stick and move at a slow pace and I found I had to abandon the tour after a few minutes because of the pace of the guide, the hills up and down and the 40 steps to get to the lift shaft. However, I did enjoy passing the hour of the tour in the sunshine outside the visitor centre in the beautiful mountain surroundings and the staff even offered me a coffee as I waited for my family. 🥰 Thank you

Our family had a great visit at the coal mine. Very informative visit. Coal miners were (and are) heroes, working in extreme, unbelievable conditions. Our guide, Alexandre, was amazing. So interesting to learn about the mines, the people, the animals and the conditions which helped shape worker’s rights.

We booked the English language tour by email as directed by the website on the morning of our visit, received a prompt response confirming the booking. Guide was excellent and very informative, great that he included information on the sociopolitical aspects of the industry. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Merci beaucoup.
