A new trip to the center of the mine to discover the astonishing adventure of the region's “Black Gueules” and 130 years of coal mining in the heart of the Vendée and Deux-Sevres bocage.
Today, more than 60 years after the closure of the last mine at Faymoreau, the Center Minier museum transports you into history and takes you into the mine to tell you the story of these men, who descended in the bowels of the Earth, looking for coal, the real "black gold" of the time.
Young and old, let yourself be taken on board and discover the brand new museography, the exhibitions, the village of corons and the incredible stained glass windows in the miners' chapel.
