The old miners' showers, La Maison du Mineur, La Grand’Combe, Gard, France.

---

These showers are part of the old mining museum at La Grand’ Combe in the Cevennes region of the Gard in southern France. The shower room could provide washing facilities for up to 350 miners at a time. The museum is housed in part of the old Puits Ricard mine. All of the artefacts in the museum are of the region and have been collected to save them from destruction. The museum has been granted “Monument Historique” status in France. The museum was renovated in 2001.
