Take time to discover the museums and the preserved industrial heritage that is omnipresent at the fascinating sites of the Château de la Verrerie, the workers’ housing estates of Combe des Mineurs and Saint-Eugène, and the 241 P 17 steam locomotive. Fun and interactive discoveries await young and old alike, as you relive Le Creusot’s industrial adventure in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Cradle of the industrial revolution, Le Creusot has evolved to the rhythm of human know-how and technological innovation. Soak up its history as a “factory town”, closely linked to the development of metallurgy and steelmaking, and to a dynasty of ironmasters with a paternalistic ideology: the Schneider family.
If you love shows, you’re sure to find something to do
among the cultural events on offer in Le Creusot.
