If you choose to drive, you can find a helpful map that shows the exact location of the Neolithic Flint Mines [here](http://www.minesdespiennes.org/textes/howcanyoureachthesiteofpetit-spiennes.pdf). It's a must-see destination for history enthusiasts. If you prefer to use public transportation, you can take the bus line 134 on Sundays. The bus will take you in the direction of MONS-GIVRY-ERQUELINNES-BEAUMONT, and you can get off at Spiennes. Enjoy the convenience of exploring this ancient site!
