    It's an interesting site with caves full of lots of old tools and implements. There are numbered guides in the rooms if you want to learn more about any of the objects. A steep path and steps down from the top of the site might be difficult if it's wet. We also enjoyed playing the old wooden games near the end. The bar is in a rather mad old hotel before the kiosk so you can visit without going into the museum bit. It's a curiosity I enjoyed; a bit different.

    A very neat place, spacious pitches. Close to the city center on foot and easy to access (barrier with code). Small river nearby, bowling green and toilets open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Catering on site. Very quiet corner.

    A great family project, a magnificent, very pleasant setting, a shaded course, ample parking... A troglodyte site rehabilitated into a museum of tools and instruments from the last century. Everything is suitable for children thanks to a treasure hunt and giant wooden games. A bar awaits you at the end to enjoy this exceptional setting. A must do!
