| One
of Burgundy's industrial hubs, the cities of
Le Creusot and Montceau have been shaped since
the end of the 18th-century both by the presence
of raw materials (coal) and by the area's accessibility
to water transport.
Physical traces of the Industrial Revolution
abound (the stately residences of the period's
entrepreneurs, worker housing, factories and
public monuments), which has not detracted high-technology
businesses from locating here.
Moreover, a number of initiatives have been
undertaken recently to incorporate this rich
industrial
heritage into the array of tourist activities
offered throughout the region.
