Chaudefonds-sur-Layon (Maine-et-Loire) Mine de charbon des Malécots. Le crassier et la chapelle Sainte-Barbe, chapelle des mineurs. Cette mine de charbon a fermé en 1964. Ce fut la dernière mine en activité du bassin houiller de la Basse Loire, sillon houiller fusiforme allant de Nort-sur-Erdre en Loire-Atlantique à Doué-la-Fontaine en Maine-et-Loire. Le charbon de terre était déjà exploité, de manière artisanale, au XVe siècle. L'exploitation industrielle se développe au XIXe siècle, et le puits N°1 atteint une profondeur de 360 mètres. La production atteindra son apogée au milieu du XIXe siècle, mais la rentabilité reste faible : environ 150 à 200 kg de houille par homme et par jour. Dans l'ensemble, l'exploitation du bassin de Basse-Loire fut décevante: le tonnage extrait est de l'ordre de 5 millions de tonnes, à comparer avec les 2,5 milliards de tonnes de houille extraites dans le bassin du Nord Pas-de-Calais. Le puits N°1 connu un violent coup de grisou en 1869 qui fit 5 morts. <a href="http://www.stebarbe.com/malecots.htm" rel="nofollow">www.stebarbe.com/malecots.htm</a> <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_des_Malécots" rel="nofollow">fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_des_Malécots</a>

I was attending an event at the IceParc so the location is great. The room is small but adequate and comfortable, and the kitchenette is very nice. The supermarket next day is convenient. I rated cleanliness lower because some kitchen utensils were not clean; I had to wash cutlery before using.
