Un « CÅ“ur de Ville » résolument moderne (Service Communication - Ville du Creusot)

Le Creusot

From 18th century cannons to high-tech steel, for the TGV, airplanes or nuclear power plants, Le Creusot has proved its industrial know-how all over the world.

Wetther coming in from the forests of Morvan, the grazing pastures of Charolais or the Chalonnais hills, the town makes for a surprising discovery.

Spread out and hilly, blessed with numerous parks (most notably, with its great varity of tree species, the Chateau de la Verrerie Park, right in the heart of town), Le Creusot still bears many marks of its laborious past, which make it a unique destination for amateurs of industrial heritage.

Home to the second largest student population in Burgundy, its sporting, cultural and artistic facilities stand comparison with other major regional cities.

The fully-renovated city center, undertaken by prestigious architects, marked a symbolic coming of age into modernity.
