The 100% family animation :

We have created this animation where young and old can relive the adventure of gold and stone seekers around our new creation: The mineral river.

Using sieves, visitors will discover the stones hidden in their sandbags.

We are not in the Far West but there is gold in DORdogne !

Périgord and Limousin are the French regions where the exploitation of gold has been the most important (we are talking here about a region geographically and geologically larger than the administrative limits of the former Limousin and which includes the north -east of the Dordogne department)

Le Gouffre is located in the Vézère Valley sector, near the gold-bearing river Vézère.

Good to know

AURUM comes from Latin, its chemical symbol is AU. « Auriferous » means that the Vézère contains gold in its alluvium but also minerals, such as garnet or quartz. In the region you will find many region, village or river names containing AUR or OR. Ex: DORdogne, PérigORd, streams of origin the Dore or the Périgor(d) but also ORgnac, CORgnac, st JORy, the AUvézère, LAUrière, AUdrix…
