Intercommunal open-air street-art museum
The old mining town of Bessèges brings colour to its working-class past. Its walls inherited from the days of mining and industry are now a promising canvas for street artists with very diverse styles.

Slag heaps
These heaps are made up of the waste from coal mining. In mining days, the slopes were black and several dozen metres high. Today adapted vegetation covers them, allowing them to blend into the landscape. The slag heap concerned has recently been flattened and used to backfill the track. It is no longer covered by vegetation.
