La Verrière

Les Ardillats, Villefranche-sur-Saône, Rhône, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

A small ancient silver mine with dump sites.

Mindat lists 67 mineral species from the site, including some rather interesting minerals.

There doesn’t seem to be much information on this site online, unfortunately – possibly due to my poor French.

Mindat does state the site is now covered by a forest but whether anything at all remains is unknown.
