Welcome to Access-i

Maison du site minier de Plombières

The Maison du Site Minier, built in 1645, is one of the oldest houses in the town.  The classification of the facades and the roof dates from 1982. 

Restoration has made it possible to preserve a large part of the original half-timbering.

On the ground floor, there is an interpretation centre retracing the history of Plombières and its nature reserve.

It also houses the tourist information centre and the Tourist Office.
