Between the XII th and the XIV th century, Brandes’s silvermines created a village at a height of 1800 meters, exposed for six month of the years to cold and snow.
Silver monoliths indicate remains and relics, propose a free trip and show Huez’s miners’s activites. Created in inox, their colors change all day long. It depends on the light, the sky’s color, the grass’s color, the seasons, etc.
