"(Coming from Le Luc). Follow the D33 south from the latter locality. In this part of the Massif des Maures (... and provided that one has time!) there are several old workings with various minerals such as baryte, sphalerite, fluorite, galena, and quartz. Sometimes there are also almandine garnets and staurolite in the mica schists." [Belot, 1978]
