About Us

A moving immersion in the profession of slate...
In the completely rehabilitated former Carmelite convent, the daily life of the slate workers is revealed. The coffee swallowed on the kitchen table, next to the stove. The overalls on and the bike straddled. The arrival at the mine, greets him at Saint Barbara. Then go underground or stay on the surface to split, claw, chop.
