  • Discover the life of a miner almost a century ago during a 1.5 hour walk through the Garenne district.

  • On this 1? hour walk, discover the history, daily life and traces of the miners of Épinac, a past that is still very much present in the landscape, with the miners' settlement, the Hottinguer well, La Garenne and the Soeurotte house.

    Let us guide you through the narrow streets and mining remains of Épinac and take you back to the time of the mines, a past so near and yet so far in our memories.

    Clémentine, a tourist advisor at the Grand Autunois Morvan Tourist Office, will be with you...
