Freyming-Merlebach, Former Mining Town

Freyming-Merlebach is a town of 13,000 inhabitants, formed by the merger of Freyming and Merlebach in 1971. Located in the Lorraine mining basin, on the border with German Saarland, the town lived for a long time to the rhythm of coal extraction. After the closure of the mines, it embarked on an economic and urban redevelopment while preserving a strong memory of its industrial past.
