This virtual reality tour, using the Archistoire application, takes you on a journey back in time through the unsuspected industrial epic that, at the end of the 19th century, revolutionised the rural district of Hyères that was La Londe les Maures.

Enter into the daily lives of the people of La Londe at the time, discover the Argentière mine gallery, understand the industrial architecture of certain districts of the town, or take advantage of never-before-seen reconstructions - these are just some of the adventures on offer in this virtual tour.

Free to use, the application is designed as a 90-minute tour starting from the Argentière Ouest beach. Using the screen of your smartphone, it guides you along the route to each of the 11 must-see sites. It opens up 360° panoramas superimposed with photos of days gone by, reconstructions of vanished features and many other surprises. By touching the interactive zones on the screen, this virtual guide reveals anecdotes and documents that are as original as they are surprising. Archistoire also gives you the chance to take a virtual tour of inaccessible places, or to discover faraway places

The application is very easy to use, and can be used on site as well as remotely and offline, so you can enjoy the experience before, during and after your visit.

To go back in time:
- Download the "Archistoire" application
- Start the experience remotely or from the starting point near the boulodrome at Plage de l'Argentière Ouest
