I never thought that I could enjoy this type of visit that much. The museum is so realistic, you have the feeling of going back to the past. Count minimum 3hours for a full visit and wear comfortable shoes, it's important.🤪 There's a small shop for souvenirs, many other activities for almost all ages throughout the year. If you're visiting the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, then you should definitely stop by this museum. It's worth your curiosity especially if you like history though this one isn't a joyful one. To those who have read "Germinal" of Emile Zola, this museum is the best way to feel like you were present in those days, meanwhile many of us weren't even born when it all happened.😊

Really nice museum, with a very nice collection. There are lots of stuff and info for small and big. The entry to the "mine" is very informative. If you plan to go plan atleast three hours to have time enough to get all the information. We spent nearly three hours with two children and did not manage to see it all. The reason for only 4 stars is the missing information in English in the permanent exhibition.

Very interesting and rich in terms of history. Great way to understand how the mines worked. Strongly recommend!

What an awesome place! So glad I stopped to check it out! The tour was fantastic.

Brilliant museum. Fantastic experience for young and old. The restaurant was exceptional.

Great attraction showing how minig has changed through the ages. Includes information on how the miners worked and lived. Well presented and a great day out.

We dive into the Nord of France and mining history. The visit of the mine is interesting. Unfortunately our tour guide wasn't knowledgeable, he only reminded us of safety rules but didn't provide any insight nor historical information.

Great museum. It felt very personal knowing my forebears were coal Miners nearby from 1720 till 1930

We liked our visit at the museum. Everything is in French and they offer an audio tour in several languages. The audio tour is not quite tourist-childfriendly because of the highly detailed information, but our 8yr old picked up enough to get a grasp of what she was seeing. The guided tour through the reconstructed mine is very nice to see for all ages. It gives a really nice impression of life down the mines.

Nice place to discover the little history about mining in north of France. The visitor guides are very nice and welcoming..

Nice activity for older children (8+). Gets you thinking about living and working conditions back then, as well as how technology and politics/management directly affected these conditions.

Located on an old mine, you go and explore what was the life in a mine. They have reconstituted the different periods of the use of that mine. You will learn about thie kids who used to work there. How they were getting the horses underground. Then the change with the use of the trains... the visit goes for about an hour. It is a great lesson for both adults and kids.

Fabulous place. We'll worth a visit. Really well put together and our guide was very good, knew her stuff, and very interesting. Definitely recommend visiting.

You have to visit but Don't think that you ll be under the ground ;) It is good to try Have a nice trip

It was nice to learn about history of mining and the way they used to work in the past

The place was absolutely infested with noisy children. If you think this may affect you, I recommend coming on a weekend. Apart from that, it's a good visit.

This is an excellent museum of the local mining history spanning 150 years. The major signage is in french english and german. There are also audioguides available in 5 languages. The price is fair for the experience.

Fantastic, historical site. Need a few hours to get round and had a fantastic tour guide too.

Great museum ... interpretat life of the miners and the unique memory of this area.Just a little suggestion: can make some more interesting souvenirs!!

I never thought I would enjoy a mine tour so much but it really expressed to me the entire history of the Northern Area France The reality of people who loved their families. They work very hard and have suffered a great deal from tragedies from mining disasters. It was historically the most comprehensive summary of The Mines really throughout the world and the history of how mining Advanced and why

It was perfect I come from hengri bergson high school and the guide was very funny and kind I think her name is Axel so I give a 5 starts.
