Montceau-les-Mines, Mining town in Saône-et-Loire, France
Located at 287 meters elevation in eastern France, Montceau-les-Mines stands as an administrative center within the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region along coordinates 46°40′N and 4°22′E.
The town emerged in 1856 following the establishment of the Blanzy Coal Mining Company in 1833, transforming from a village of 1,300 inhabitants into a significant industrial center.
The former mining sites now serve as educational spaces where visitors learn about mineral extraction methods and the daily routines of mine workers through exhibitions.
Regional train services and road networks connect Montceau-les-Mines to major cities, with regular transportation options available for residents and visitors throughout the Saône-et-Loire department.
The January 1878 miners' strike marked a turning point when workers protested against the dismissal of republican-minded employees, leading to significant labor rights advancements.
