The Pans de Travassac
DONZENAC
From 10.00€ - Full price
Unique in Europe, the Pans de Travassac site offers a unique journey into the slate-making tradition. Discover the world of slate workers who, since the 17th century, have been working stone in this truly exceptional setting.
In addition to the steep cliffs where minerals and plants blend harmoniously, the spectacle is everywhere.
You will not fail to observe the work of the slate through the ancestral gestures of reballing, splitting and cutting. Thus, by the hand of man, a stone becomes a slate.
At the heart of a gallery, a museum also awaits you retracing through numerous documents, tools and film, the history and life of the Travassac slate workers through the centuries.
