Once part of a pivotal iron mine operation, the Ruines du funiculaire de la mine de fer reveal Segré’s rich industrial heritage. These remnants of a mechanically powered incline were used to transport extracted iron to nearby processing sites, offering visitors a window into the area’s bustling past. Today, nature has reclaimed much of the old infrastructure, creating a stark contrast between rusted machinery and lush greenery. Sturdy footwear is recommended, as paths can be uneven. Interpretive signs delve deeper into the mining era, and the tranquil surrounding countryside adds to the experience, making it a unique spot for history enthusiasts seeking a quieter exploration. It’s a short drive from Segré’s center and is easily combined with visits to local museums, offering a comprehensive overview of the region’s mining legacy.
