| TOWN PRESENTATION |
This town has the largest natural gas field in Europe. The discovery of gas began in the 50s. Several boreholes were undertaken and revealed a significant layer of gas to more than 3500 m deep. In the end, 32 wells were productive and had decided to implement an industrial area to start operation in 1957. This basin has quickly transformed the landscape, living mainly from agriculture.
