esor6 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Hi, which part of France do you want to visit ? Quote
Cedrick Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 You should perhaps consider a visit in Alsace (Ste-Marie-aux-Mines Show end of June and museums) so you can easily pay a visit to the Clara mine in Germany where collecting is much easier than in France... French operators of quarries are not really known as being friendly with the mineral collectors. Quote
Bineke Kalkman Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Posted March 22, 2015 okay, thank you very much. Yes the clara mine, we visited already. This year we want to spend our holiday in France so I thought your country has possibilities. esor6, the part of France does nt matter, just there where it is interesting for searching a couple of days. Someone told me you can find some minerals on the beach in Normandie . thank you very much for helping me ! Quote
Cedrick Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 If you go to Normandy you should combine it with Britanny - as Normandy is not very rich in mineral localities. If you can get good contacts with the society in charge of the dump, you might visit Chessy on your way to the Alps (some members are here). After visiting the Chamonix museum, I suggest you to stay in Bourg d’Oisans, so you can combine hiking in nice landscapes with mineral collecting (mainly quartz). There are many regions to collect minerals in France, but you don't need to focus on quarries, or do visit quarries with the help of local contacts. Choose the region first, then we will find helpful contacts for you! Quote
qui dansent Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 bonjour toutes mes excuses je suis trop mauvais en anglais pour l'utiliser... si un forumeur pouvais transcrire ses quelques lignes... mon avis serais de conseiller la visite de la ferme de l'horme, je n'ai jamais rencontrer de passionnés plus enthousiastes et je n'ai jamais vu d'expo plus pédagogique!!! ce n'est pas très loin des ferry en terme de km et ça sera je le sais une joie pour votre enfant!! sinon si vous passez en drôme je serais ravis de faire le guide (j'ai une traductrice en la personne de ma femme, mais là elle bosse...) ettand moi même atteint d'asperger je pense pouvoir communiquer avec votre fils..au moins sur certaines émotions... sinon bon séjour! et faite nous un petit récapitulatifs, ça servira surement à d'autres!

Bineke Kalkman Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 So, thank you, all friendly french people! I love your country already! I take all the advice from you and discuss it with my family. Qui dansent , yes my son is asperger aswell, 21 ans thank you Cedrick, wise advice, we ll do that. Quote
Bineke Kalkman Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Posted March 27, 2015 So, now we know where we are going to! Bretagne it will be! Together with my family we decided to go to this special area. We saw on internet pictures of Ploumanac, perro guirec and pink granit, and strange rocks, I have never seen before, so different! If you have new ideas for me, places to find minerals it completes our vacation, thank you again Quote
JLOUI Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Hi, I'm not from Bretagne and I don't know much about it but you should look at this link about the minerals that can be found there: http://www.geoforum.fr/topic/3899-des-mineraux-bretons/ You may find some interesting spots to look for minerals Quote
trenen23 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Have you seen the "Qui Dansent" post ? he propose the visit of the "L'Orme Farm", it's an animal parc with a very nice private mineralogical museum. The owners are 1Frangin and 3Frangin and they know a lot of things about french mineralogy Truly yours, Serge Quote
