Mines de Bruoux

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:06:38

In Gargas, 7km east of Roussillon, this former mine has more than 40km of underground galleries where ochre was once extracted. Around 650m are open to the public, some of which is as much as 15m high. Visits are only by guided tour; you need to reserve ahead.

The caverns sometimes provide a stunning setting for concerts; check the website for schedules.
