Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Mus\u00e9e de l'Ardoise is a small museum where you can discover slate mining techniques, its various uses and a range of tools. If you're lucky, you'll even get to see a slate splitting demonstration. Bordering the museum is the Parc des Ardoisi\u00e8res, which we enjoyed exploring and which completes the museum's exhibition. This former mining site of almost 100 hectares has been invaded by nature, but still bears witness to the century-old know-how of slate mining.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
