Built after the First World War, it is sited in the heart of Homps’ mining town. This city aimed to house foreign workforce coming to expand the ranks of miners.

The “Polish’s house”  tour plunges you into miner’s everyday life, thanks to furnitures from that period and to explanatory boards on working conditions in the mine, as well as the mining town’s rules.
