This is the oldest mining town still in existence in the Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin. The preservation of the carins (outbuildings) and the voyettes (alleys) has allowed it to maintain its integrity. By preserving what already exists and assigning it new uses, the project preserves and adapts the town to new ways of living and to environmental issues.
