Discovered in 1750, coal was mined between 1839 and 1869 near the Temple and Tabarière south of Chantonnay. Of this exploitation, there are now two heaps, the office of the old mine and traces of excavation.
Coal (coal) was transported to nearby lime kilns to serve as fuel for the firing of limestone, extracted from quarries in the Chantonnay basin. Mines and lime kilns belonged to the same company.
Among these ovens, the Five Ovens built in 1848, located about 1 km north of the Temple mine are well preserved. They thus form a undoubtedly unique ensemble that reminds of medieval fortifications. The Five furnaces closed at the end of the XIXth and only 3 remained.
