Let yourself be transported into the secret world of a precious metal: gold!
Come and discover 2500 years of gold history in Limousin, from the Gauls to the present day.
The gold rush near you! The Maison de l'Or in Limousin invites you to dive into an epic of 2500 years of gold discovery in the region. In the «Gallic discovery» corner you will observe the grinding of the ore on Gallic grinding tables. Children will participate in the game of the Little Gaul, a fun way to share the visit. On arrival, a surprise gift! You can then introduce yourself to the Gallic coinage with your family (1€).
