Musée Mémoire de Fer

Venez découvrir ce musée qui illustre un siècle d'histoire de la mine de fer( la lampisterie, la salle des pendus, le jumbo, engin de forage du minerai...)à travers les histoires et témoignages d'anciens mineurs guides passionnés.

Carreau de Livet, the last iron ore mine in Western France, presents wheeled and tracked engines brought to the surface along with a collection of miners' equipment. The visit includes the 'salle des pendus' (miners' cloakroom), the showers, the lamp store, the descent shaft that took miners 650 metres below ground level. A scenographic display entitled 'The subterranean worlds of Calvados' offers visitors a plunge into the centre of the Earth. Geological resources are presented in an educational yet recreational manner before a virtual tour of the mining zones. 15-minute film.

Free unaccompanied outdoor tour of mining equipment. Indoor tour from July to September, from 2.30 to 6 pm on Sundays.
