On April 8, BRGM visited the Faymoreau Mining Center, a coal mining museum like no other! ⛏️🏺
BRGM team met the director of the Faymoreau Mining Center (www.centreminier-vendee.fr) in the Vendée department of western France, an area usually not known for its coal mines. 🇫🇷🌍
From 1827 to 1958, Faymoreau and the surrounding area lived to the beat of coal mining. ⛏️⚒️ Over 60 years later, this mining adventure has not been forgotten…
Insightful discussions addressed the governance of the mining center, its financial resources, and the best way to promote a rich cultural and natural heritage, all of the utmost importance for the CoalHeritage project. 📚💬🌿
Thanks a lot for their warm welcome to C. Baudouin, director of the Faymoreau Mining Center, M. Millet, Mayor of Faymoreau, and M. Henriet, vice-president in charge of cultural sites for the communauté de communes Vendée Sèvre Autise. 🙏🤝
