    Very informative museum! Lots of precious stones and minerals to see. The staff was very accommodating. The free coffee was perfect for winter.

    Not so huge underground but super interesting. Very fancy toilet in the rock. Interesting exposition with dinosaurs. Gift shop is mostly about stones in general, would be nice to have more specific stuff like. After visiting the museum I recommend going to the parking around the hill with fantastic panoramic views to the sea

    Surprisingly good. A lot of explanations, a very well stocked mineral exhibit. No store per se, so people are really there to help you not sale you something.

    Nice experience to learn about the way this mine was before and why they made it. The guide is super friendly and funny making this visit more interesting and he speaks English. 1 h visit pass pretty fast you will learn from the work condition, too the utilization of the copper in the past. Nice store after the visit with some jewelry and rocks from the mine that you can buy for a really cheap price.

    The mine is not big, but very nice and informative. Due to the lower temperatures in the mine, it was a perfect little excursion to cool off a little. Plus the staff was super nice!

    Fascinating insight into local copper mining which is also part of a beautiful coastal walk. Definitely worth a visit. And you can go down the mine some days.

    The history of this mine is interesting : the working conditions were harsh.... Nice collection of local and worldwide stones. But the guide who lead the tour was boring...

    Highly informative, would prefer some additional layer of clothing as the temperature is 15 degrees Celsius (32 outside). Highly recommended place!

    Great place to visit, especially during a rainy day. Very welcoming staff offering syrup drinks and coffee while waiting to start a tour. A pretty unique place for the entire family

👍 Un lieu magnifique, fort de sa vue sur la Presqu'île de Giens et de ses animations culturelles. Point de départ de randonnées pour La Colle noire.
