Presumably the most widely-known fluorite locality in France, the La Barre mine, which was worked from 1918 until 1948, had a large fluorite-quartz vein hosted in migmatites, but all adits have since closed. The deposit is known for producing blue and yellow fluorite specimens, sometimes with blue and purple zonings, or yellow phantoms.
