The town of Gréasque has succeeded in
preserving its natural and cultural
heritage:
A mountain bike track has been opened for public use, a keep-fit trail created for everyone to enjoy, and the Tombereau has been converted into a delightful leisure area.
. Gréasque, a living town, an active town:
In 1994 we took the first step in the creation of the Gréasque en Provence Mining History Centre, renovating the head frame of the mine shaft, an integral part of our mining culture and listed as a historical monument.
The Centre was opened in the last quarter of 2000 and presents different aspects of the mining culture of Provence, combining conventional presentations and the latest audio-visual techniques. Guided tour to discover mining in Provence.
A spectacular "son et lumière" recreates the atmosphere of the site when it was in operation.
Open every day except Tuesday. Tel: 04 42 69 77 00
