Mine du Buisson
A quartz vein mined for lead and silver first by celts (c. 3rd century BC) then by local farmers during the Middle Age and by several companies during the 19th century. Nice baryte and galena specimens were found here in the 1990's. Adits are closed and flooded now but some dumps remain.
