From the extraction of ore to its transformation into an iron object of our daily lives, enjoy several discovery activities!
Friday is for school students only.
Saturday and Sunday are on a similar program, with stands «to understand», from the extraction of the ore to the finished object in iron, (knife, nail, fence, eiffel tower...) by demonstration workshops, which are also participatory.
Shows are also organized, with horses (knights tournaments, educational tents), but also theater, children’s stories, music with local groups. You can also enjoy photo exhibitions on the mine and the factory whose 150th anniversary is being celebrated. In the evening, a show of fire closes the day of Saturday and Sunday. A fireworks display is planned on Saturday (weather permitting).
