Iron ore reduction furnaces in Rebolledes, municipality of Baillestavy. The ovens are located along the road that climbs into the Llentilla valley, between Baillestavy and Valmanya. Here is an excerpt from an explanatory text as written on a panel, on the spot: "These roasting furnaces were a fundamental part of the mining operation that developed at the very beginning of the 20th century, on the Rebolledes hills, on the other side of the Llentilla valley. They were built around 1910 by the Compagnie des mines de fer et de manganèse de Masseguin (Lozère), replaced in 1911 by the Compagnie des mines, fonderies et forges d'Alès (Gard). Receiving the ore with the help of an aerial conveyor some 250 metres long, these furnaces could roast some twenty tonnes of carbonated ore per day. Once roasted, the ore was transported by cart to the Vinça railway station, from where it was sent to the high furnaces in the Gard." par Alan Mattingly (CC BY-SA 4.0)
