Slate is an essential part of the heritage of Rimogne, which for centuries was a center of slate mining in France. The village retains an imprint that is still very present in its streets and many of its buildings and homes. As soon as you enter the town, you will discover the characteristic alignment of the old dwellings of the slate workers and the retaining walls of the verdous, the heaps of slate residues.
Then very quickly, you will see the top of the metal headframe of the Puits Saint Quentin. It rises to some 25 m in the heart of the village, of which it is almost the emblem. It was used to house the winch of an elevator which, until 1970, overlooked the last mine in operation. You will then visit the Slate House. Housed in the buildings of the former Rimogne slate quarry power station, this museum is experiencing a new lease of life: its entire tour route has been revised. It offers an original experience around the slate saga from the Middle Ages to the XNUMXth century.
Interactive and lively, the visit will give you the impression of descending to the bottom of the pit. Equipped with a tablet and guided by the voice of a slate worker, you will discover the extraction techniques and the living conditions of the workers and their families, before leaning over an impressive 185 m shaft.
It should be noted that the Maison de l'ardoise is also a place of cultural dissemination and that it also regularly hosts events and artistic exhibitions in its exceptional setting. And if you want to extend your stay in the slate village, you can spend a night in comfortable lodgings in the old brickyard buildings.
