Moving and sobering at the courage of the Maqui who would not submit to surrender or the tyranny of the Nazi occupiers. The exhibits were powerful and I was grateful they had explanations in English. I left the museum with some new historical heroes. Viva La Maqui. Thank you to the museum for it's preservation of this important history to France and the world in my humble opinion.

We loved this little museum in Grenoble. Entrance is free, and they give you a great audioguide, also for free. The interpretation is very well done, the site is very well maintained and it was really interesting to walk around the excavations and see the different historic periods at the same time. My 5 year old had a blast there as well. It is very child friendly. They gave my son a map with images and throughout our walk-thought we had to find all these special objects or markers. He loved it! And the staff was really nice and welcoming as well. Highly recommend it if you have a sejour in Grenoble.

The Fournel valley silver-bearing lead deposit was the scene of flourishing workings during the Middle Ages (10th - 13th centuries). With the help of fire-setting excavation techniques the workings reached up to 100m from daylight. The silver gained was sent to the mints at Embrun, Cesana and Grenoble. Then during the Industrial Revolution, between 1785 and 1908, several mining companies in turn worked out the deposit up to 300m under the mountainside. A factory was built at the bottom of the Fournel gorge and mining activity employed up to 500 workers. Since 1992 the site has seen archeological digs and volonteer work camps aiming to rehabilitate this industrial heritage.
