The iron industry is very old in France, especially in Lorraine, thanks to the minette and in the Longwy sector, to the deposit of St Pancré whose ore kidneys are very rich in iron. As early as 1270, an agreement between the Dukes of Lorraine and Luxembourg mentioned the mines of the region and in 1488, the monks of Orval, the master builders of Buré la Forge, obtained a free passage for the transport of ore; another concession was signed in 1513.
