Puits Saint-Louis

The Puits Saint-Louis features exhibits of mining equipment, underground tunnels, and industrial machinery that showcase coal extraction methods from past decades.

The mining shaft, established during the industrial development of Auvergne's coalfields, operated throughout the 20th century until its transformation into a museum.

The site maintains collections of miners' personal items, work tools, and photographs that document the daily experiences of local mining families.

Visitors can participate in guided tours of the facility, which include demonstrations of mining techniques and explanations of safety procedures.

The energy station integrated within Puits Saint-Louis demonstrates the transition from traditional coal mining to modern sustainable energy practices.
