  • Hello to all of you. My guests and I visited your mine and the museum with great interest. Your team delivers the history of your project in a remarkable way. We had a very warm welcome. The guides know their subject very well. Thank you Rémi for introducing us to this passion that you have had for over 40 years. A beautiful day for me and my grandchildren. Once again, thank you very much, Alain, Dominique, Jérôme and Laurence. Well done

  • The best activity my daughter and I did at Lac St Jean! The site is magnificent. The guide we had (I don't remember her name) was really interesting, we felt that she was passionate and that she wanted to teach us!! The other guide too, we felt her passion! They helped us and explained how to find crystals.. We feel that for them it is not just a job but really a passion!! And what can I say about Mr. Rémi, super nice, welcoming, proud of his mine.. Probably the only activity I would do again if I return to the Lake!! Really a great experience.. Thank you!!!!
