Musée de l'Ardoise Michel Paradon

Opening of the Michel Paradon slate museum, Saturday April 20, 2024.
In the completely rehabilitated former Carmelite convent, the daily life of the slate workers is revealed. Coffee drunk on the kitchen table, next to the stove. The overalls on and the bike on. Arriving at the mine, greet him with Saint Barbara. Then go underground or stay on the surface to split, claw, cut. Pay collected at the café counter, a real place of life in the city. “Legend says that there were as many cafes as there were slate holes.” A place to discover from Saturday April 20 to Sunday September 22, 2024 from 13 p.m. to 17 p.m., 7 days a week. FREE ENTRY. (From September 7, 23: Times to be determined). For groups, visits possible outside these hours. BY RESERVATION. 2024 03 24 41 10
