Interesting museum, lots of information that exposed what people went through during the eruption in 1973 and how they coped after.

Cheaper than at the door or from the official site. The staff at the front desk had a little difficulty with the QR code but we got in after a short delay.

He turned it into the home of his Cognac business, thanks to the unique walls, which were perfect for the aging of his eau de vie.
