Guided tour from the square of Olhaberri, to go together through the village, discover its history in connection with its mines. We go down a path in the forest to the edge of the Nive. We cross the river with a ferry, to cross the other bank. There, we enter a mine gallery, not just any one, it is the Saint-Louis mine where an ingenious pumping system that allowed the success of the mines of the eighteenth century entered. A sound and light also allows your imagination to immerse itself in this time. Finally, we find the village passing between the remains of this long mining and metallurgical epic.
