Mine de Pont-Péan, Lead mine in Pont-Péan, France.
The mining complex includes administrative buildings, circular washing facilities, and workers' housing spread across 54 hectares of industrial heritage.
Between the 18th and 20th centuries, this site became France's primary lead producer, extracting 270,000 tons of galena concentrate until its closure in 1904.
The mine's administrative building from 1890 received historical monument status in 1985, preserving the industrial legacy of Brittany for future generations.
The mining site offers guided tours during summer months with specialists explaining the technical aspects and social history of lead extraction.
The miners' changing room transformed into Saint-Melaine parish church, while former workers' quarters converted into social housing units.
