In 2012, the Bois-du-Luc, one of the major mining sites in Wallonia, has been listed under the Unesco World Heritage.

The Bois-du-Luc, a mining site listed as exceptional Walloon heritage, is a great way to discover the work and daily life of a miner and his family. At the end of the 19th century, the Société des Charbonnages du Bois-du-Luc (created in 1685) founded the Saint-Emmanuel pit and constructed a unique village model nearby.

All sorts of activities were available at the village - which was supervised by a director - from purchasing food and drink at the grocery, butcher's, mill and brewery, get treatment both at home and at the hospital, relax at the park and kiosk, and get an education, both at school and in church.

Bois-du-Luc is a key location on the European Route of the Industrial Heritage.
