Do you know the diatom?
Reserve your place and you will know everything about this seaweed, transformed in the Imerys factory of Murat.
Come and discover the history of diatom quarries, the strangeness of this mineral called "diatomite" and its impact on the life of muratais. You will also discover the life of quarries in operation as well as their rehabilitation. The visit then continues within the treatment plant.
You will discover this fossil ore, its exploitation, its impact on the city of Murat but also its daily life. Indeed, without knowing it, you probably use diatom in your daily life...
Discover these spectacular formations and let yourself be surprised by the richness of these places steeped in history.
A beautiful and instructive adventure.
