Guided tour | Cap Garonne mining museum

Le Pradet

Price : 9€

Located high above Le Pradet, in the heart of nature, the Cap Garonne Mining Museum is the only museum in France dedicated to copper and micro-minerals.

From the life of the miners to the history of the rock, strap on your helmets and plunge into the heart of these ancient copper mines with the guided tour we suggest you book. A lively lesson, a fascinating adventure for young and old to share with the whole family in Le Pradet.

This exceptional site is nestled atop Cape Garonne. Get your cameras ready: the view from the top is simply breathtaking. A path has been laid out as a discovery trail, starting at the mine entrance and leading around the hill to the former industrial facilities. The trail offers panoramic views of the Hyères islands and Toulon harbor. A great idea for an easy walk after or before visiting the museum.
