Historical site depicting the town’s mining past. Discovered in 1644, the galena seam (argentiferous lead sulphide) was exploited until 1866. A pathway of larches leads to the former Ecole Française des Mines which stood here from 1802 to 1814. The saw grooves that mark its trees date from 1891/1892. These are the remains of an act of vengeance by people sentenced for wild logging.
