Val-de-Fer, Historical iron mine in Neuves-Maisons, France.
The Val-de-Fer mine extends through 400 kilometers of underground galleries beneath the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, featuring industrial structures from different periods.
The mine operated from 1874 to 1968 under the Société Métallurgique de la Haute-Moselle, connecting to a nearby steel plant through a railway called Le Coucou.
Former miners maintain sections of the galleries as a museum, welcoming visitors during Heritage Days to share the mining history of the region.
The site includes educational pathways following the old railway line, with markers indicating historical points and explaining different mining locations.
The mine's galleries now serve as a water supply system for several local municipalities, demonstrating the transformation of industrial infrastructure.
