The Maison du Mineur (Miner's House) in La Grand-Combe, with its museum and mining machine room

The museum bears witness to the era of anthracite mining, an activity inextricably linked with the history of the commune. The entrance hall quickly sets the tone for an industry that flourished for over a century: 180 showers and 1,800 baskets awaited miners here at the beginning and end of the day. The only one of its kind in Europe, the mining machine room is impressive in its operation. The Maison du Mineur is a moving reminder not only of economic history, but also of political and social history, from the miners' daily lives to the workers' struggles.

Le guide est très compétent et super sympa, le site est très bien entretenu et bien sûr, se retrouver dans l'ambiance de ces forçats de la mine est très émouvant.

Très intéressant , nous garderons un très bon souvenir de ce musée, qui nous a rappelé ce que nos ancêtres ont enduré, je recommande.

Très beau musée très fourni ce qui permet d'appréhender la vie du mineur en Occitanie et de comparer par rapport aux mineurs du Nord.
