Description
Discover an activity that is somewhat suspect for this region of the French Riviera: the exploitation of a mine, which gave birth to the commune of La Londe les Maures.
Discover l'Argentière around 1890 from the perspective of Europe's largest zinc deposit.
And in the heart of a gallery, unique in the department for its remains dating back to before the 17th century, let yourself be guided into the world of the miners through the two periods of exploitation of the mine.
