    Well XV and its history:

    Dug during the construction of the Blaisy-Bas railway tunnel in the 1850s.
    197 meters deep, it is the highest of the 22 extraction shafts spaced 200m apart, which allowed the cuttings to be evacuated from above during the works.


    It is now used as a ventilation shaft and allows the excess pressure caused by the passage of trains in the tunnel to be evacuated.

    Installed 30 years ago right next door,
    The Relais LE PUITS XV was just a bar... but not just any bar:
    “that of the “granny Bauchet”, also nicknamed “the mother of the goats”,
    where "all the young people in the area" met, according to Kiki.


    Today it is a pretty restaurant, where it is good to come and have a rest.
