The Bruoux Mines

This majestic site is a former mine for ochrous sand, initially open-cast, then underground.
The 50-minute long guided visit offers a unique and amazing journey of discovery through a 650-metre long route of galleries reaching up to 15 metres high within a network branching out over more than 40 kilometres. To visit, ensure you book beforehand.
