THE IMAGE MINE
Go there and contact
Museum offering guided tours to understand mining at La Motte-d'Aveillans.
The best coal in the world is found not in the north, but in the south of Isère: anthracite from the Matheysin plateau. This unusual tour explores an underground mining site exploited for over a thousand years, and the living conditions of the "gueules noires". Guided tours in easily accessible horizontal galleries, even accessible for wheelchair users, depicting scenes from the mine. A permanent exhibition in the miners' changing room is complemented by a film on this fascinating world.

Vraiment sympa et appréciable quand il fait trop chaud.
Boutique avec souvenirs et de quoi manger un bout.
The visit is commented on with many details and cheery. The visit is in several stages (underground cloakrooms, equipment, squares.). I was surprised by the realism and the details.
The youngest put the surprising questions seem easy to us but whose are also not necessarily simplest.
