THE BLUE MINE
Unusual place in the heart of a former mining site in the Anjou Bleu region, where the guided tour of the galleries invites you to travel back in time
This unusual place in the heart of a former mining site is directly linked to the industrial area of the last two centuries. The guided tour of the galleries 126 m below ground and the extraction chambers will invite you to travel back in time. You will discover the origin of the slate, the mining techniques and the daily life of the miners. On the surface, you will discover, with a demonstration, how to cut, "quern", split and "round" the slate. Remember to bring comfortable shoes and warm clothes (13°C underground).
