Former mine at May-sur-Orne
Highlight • Historical Site
The extraction was done on the right bank of the Orne river whereas, the shipment by rail took place on the left bank. The emaciated silhouettes of the crusher-accumulators that overlooked the railway tracks are still standing. So is the mining bridge and a storage silo.
This site reminds that in the history Normandy, was once one of the main steel regions in France.
