Description
Hosted by Gilbert Mari, a mineralogist, and presented by Géo Sites Alpes Azur
In the northwest of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Permian basin of the Barrot Dome—famous for its red color and the beauty of the gorges that cut through it—was once the site of intense mining activity aimed at extracting copper ore.
From Le Cerisier, in the Roudoule Valley, to the nearly inaccessible cliffs of the Daluis Gorges, this slideshow will take you on a journey through the history of these mines and the ruins that bear witness to this economic activity, which is all too often overlooked.
