Discover Europe's largest zinc deposit dating from the end of the 19th century and a gallery preserving the remains of earlier mining operations.
During the European Heritage Days, discover a hidden face of the Var coastline: the largest zinc deposit in Europe at the end of the 19th century, which was the birthplace of the commune of La Londe les Maures.
A visit to an old mining gallery will plunge you into the world of both modern miners and the first miners who gave rise to the name l'Argentière.
