Discover amethyst, the violet stone that the Greeks said protects against drunkenness and elevates the spirit. Located in the heart of Europe's largest amethyst deposit, this living museum invites you to immerse yourself in the world of minerals.

The Maison de l'Améthyste offers fun activities, walks and workshops to discover and collect this stone from its natural deposit.
