Le Creusot

Town in Saône-et-Loire département, in the Burgundy region of east-central France; population (1990) 29,200, conurbation 41,000. It was once a coal-mining centre and now has foundries, locomotive shops, and armaments factories. It has given its name to a range of cast-iron cookware.

From the 17th to the early 20th centuries it was a centre for the manufacture of steel, glass, and ceramics. The first foundry in France to burn coal instead of wood was built here.
