TELLURE - Alsace

The Underground Worlds Exploration Centre

1549

An ordinary day in Sainte - Marie - aux -  Mines, in Alsace, France.

Vitto who has been working for a few years as a minor has just talked with the Judge of the Mines. Despite the sweat running down his face, his body is frozen and his arms are shivering so much that he cannot hold back the" pointerole" which slips from his fingers.

The minor watches his companions, a quick glance, only a few more hours to go...

More than four and a half centuries later

A light in the gallery, short breaths, sounds of footsteps intensifying, bright artificial light making eyes to dazzle and look down. The ground is glittering though less than in the past. The archaeologist bends down, moved... He seizes an object...link with the past...and the ground reveals its secrets.

You will live this story just a our mountains have entrusted it to us...

Those who have designed Tellure have used exceptional technical means:

*Panoramic cinema

*Optical theatre

*Sound and visual special effects

*Reconstituted scenes

*Discovery of a unique hertiage

*A desire for authenticity in a preserved environment

It took nearly 5 centuries before TELLURE was designed and it has now come true and been achieved.
