A hunt for the magic word in the depths
For the autumn holidays, the Cap Garonne mine offers a secret word hunt and Halloween thrills for all.

For the autumn holidays, the Cap Garonne mine museum in Le Pradet offers an unusual and immersive experience for the whole family. The former mining galleries are transformed into a mysterious playground, combining exploration, investigation and Halloween thrills in a spectacular natural setting.
Until October 30, from 10 am to 5 pm, visitors are invited to explore the underground maze independently for a fun mission. As they walk through, families will need to show keen observation to find mysterious elements hidden in the mine. Each clue will allow them to gradually reconstruct a secret word.
At the end of the route, each child who has solved the riddle will be given a small gourmet treasure or a surprise as a reward for their investigative skills.
Hallowmine: a special day on October 31
Halloween day marks the highlight of these festivities with the "Hallowmine" event. On October 31, from 10 am to 5 pm, in addition to the hunt for the magic word, an exceptional encounter awaits young adventurers.
