lassed as a UNESCO site since 2012, Bois-du-Luc is characterized by its mining village preserved in its greatest totality, an authenticity unique in Europe. An audioguided tour offers you the opportunity to discover all the workings of a coal mining operation with exceptional longevity (1685-1973), the lives, struggles and journeys of workers from various backgrounds. You will be challenged by the particularities of Bois-du-Luc's life, its paternalistic policy surrounding the worker and his family: a subtle balance between profitability and social control. Bring a green touch to your getaway by climbing the wooded slag heaps or by riding one of our bicycles on a tour that combines nature and culture.

voyage dans le passé minier
voyage dans le temps où le directeur avait pouvoir sur tout, le site était à une époque un exemple de structure ouvrière avec ses habitations, son école, le château du directeur bien situé pour mieux observer, le site reconnu par l'UNESCO retrouve son lustre d'antan, visite aussi agréable que ludique
