Tour de Provence Mines d'énergies Sud (Bouches-du-Rhône)

The Provence Mines d'énergies Sud territory, centered on the former mining basin of Gardanne and Fuveau, offers a landscape typical of inland Provence, characterized by the proximity of limestone hills and the Sainte-Victoire mountain range. The landscape reflects the reclamation of former industrial sites by nature, whose slag heaps are now largely reclaimed by vegetation. The flora is typically Mediterranean, dominated by fragrant garrigue, kermes oaks, and Aleppo pine forests, which have played a key role in the ecological restoration. This dry vegetation shelters fauna adapted to the Provençal climate, including insects such as cicadas, small reptiles, and numerous birds nesting in the maquis. Together, they form a unique ecosystem, combining industrial heritage with preserved Mediterranean biodiversity.
