    The traditional visit - Go down, see, understand.
    At the foot of the metal headframe, visitors see the "cage" open and are invited to descend into the impressive world of the "black faces".
    With commentary from beginning to end, the tour of the galleries bears witness to a century of mining, industrial and social activity, during which the miners exploited coal in a difficult and dangerous environment.

    A real approach to the world of mining that immerses visitors in the daily life of miners in the past.
