Cité ouvrière de la Combe des Mineurs, Historical workers' settlement in Le Creusot, France.
The four main brick buildings adapt to the sloping terrain, featuring long-sided roofs covered with traditional flat tiles and independent entrances.
The Creusot Forge and Foundry Company constructed this settlement in 1826 under English industrialists Manby and Wilson to house their workers.
The housing design follows the Welsh 'dual row' model with superimposed and opposite levels, incorporating British industrial architecture into French construction.
Visitors can explore the 41 original dwellings of 23 square meters, which were renovated in 1982 and converted into modern social housing.
A drainage system protects the northern wall from moisture, while the first-level openings face south to maximize natural light exposure.
