Plan-du-Lac

Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, Grenoble, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

French hillside well known amongst micro mineral collectors.

Mindat lists 31 mineral species from the site, primarily micro minerals – aeschynite, brookite, monazite, rutile, synchysite, titanite, xenotime, etc.

It appears that collection may no longer be allowed from this locale without prior authorisation (see the translated GeoForum link below, which has an excellent series of photos from the site.)
