Mine Saint Jean
This old 16th century mine was worked from the 16th century to after 1900 and is now the "Tellure mining parc". It can be visited by tourists and children up to 7 year old (and more ...) to be initiated at speleology.
The mine also hosts the "Colonne St Jean", a 95 meters high void, created by the exploitation.
The mine is well known for its superb chalcopyrite specimens, competing with the best known samples of the species worldwide. The mine produced also skutterudite cristals to over three cm and was one of the richest in Ste Marie.
