Souterroscope of slate quarries
A fabulous journey under the earth
The Souterroscope is a former slate mine that has not been mined for 128 years (at the date of closure of its longest operation: 1891). It was born in a surprising way since the extraction started quite illegally at the foot of the church of Caumont l'Éventé. The Ardoisières de Caumont were the only ones in Normandy to achieve a true industrial dimension.
Today, the Ardoisières are experiencing a second breath since they had the right to a conversion. In fact, since May 1, 1994, they have been arranged and open to the visit. Now, a unique and unusual visit is proposed… From the creation of the world to the discovery of this quarry preserved in its 19th century state, the visitor becomes a miner discovering large underground halls as cathedrals. Four rooms are open to visitors:
- In the first room, visitors can discover the water table illustrated by a film about the water cycle.
- The second room "Arc en Terre" is the symbol of the pact established between man and the mine: a wonderful play of water and light is installed there. In this setting, the magic mirrors allow small and large to color the rocks.
- The third room offers a film about the extraction of slate "Caumont blue gold".
- In the fourth and final room, an extraordinary collection of giant crystals and semi-precious stones found refuge there.
The visit lasts 1 h. It is in French or in English.
There’s a trip every 12 minutes.
