Carreau Wendel Museum, Mining museum in Petite-Rosselle, France.

The Carreau Wendel Museum presents industrial mining equipment, underground galleries, and operational machinery from the last deep coal mine of France.

The site began operations in 1856 with the Saint-Charles pit, followed by multiple expansions including Wendel 1, Wendel 2, Vuillemin 1, and Vuillemin 2 pits.

The museum displays explain miners' daily routines through authentic spaces like the hanging room, showers, lamp store, and stamp office in three languages.

Located near the A320 highway exit to Forbach, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM with guided tours available.

Visitors can experience a simulated descent of 1,200 meters underground at 12 meters per second to observe coal mining operations.
