Travelling to Le Creusot

Travel to Le Creusot

In the heart of Burgundy "wine country", surrounded by the beautiful Morvan Regional Park, the former mining town of Le Creusot is just 35 minutes from Lyon and an hour and a half from Paris. The formidable Steam Hammer of Le Creusot is today a symbol of the town and of its strong industrial heritage. Built in 1877, the Creusot Steam Hammer was for a time the most powerful in the world, capable of delivering a 100-tonne blow. This impressive structure is 21 metres (68 feet) tall, and looks as if it could be the Eiffel Tower's neanderthal ancestor.
