Description

A geological site of national importance and unique in Europe, the Mine d'Or cliff captivates visitors with its fascinating ochre and yellow hues.

But beyond the magnificent landscape, it also tells a fascinating story spanning nearly a million years.

 

The local council organises tours of the site all year round for groups (private, associations, school groups, etc.), by booking, for groups of 10 or more.

Accompanied by a qualified geographer, you will discover the landscapes that have evolved over time and the natural processes that shaped them.
