Montceau-les-Mines, a former mining town in Saône-et-Loire, blends industrial heritage, a dynamic cultural life, a marina on the Canal du Centre and green spaces around the Lac du Plessis.

With the patronage of "John the Baptist", this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of the voice in the desert prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: In the desert prepare the way for the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!" (Luther Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Mother of God Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself was to give birth to Jesus Christ, and her - until then childless - relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of Saint Jean Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th.
