Forget hiking or skiing, the latest trend on the spoil heaps that litter northern France's deindustrialised landscape is wine-growing, made possible by a warming climate.
The closure of mines in the region's coal-basin, which stretches dozens of miles west from the Belgian border, exacerbated the area's plunge into economic decline in the late 20th century.
With this year's heat - less searing in the north than in southern France - production should triple versus the 10 hectolitres produced in 2021, even if it remains a tiny drop compared with the 45.6 million hectolitres expected nationally.Wine-maker Olivier Pucek said the climate in a part of France considered by many French to be dreary and desolate had held back vine growing, but that things were changing.
Spoil heaps, also called "boney piles" or "slag heaps", are towering piles of waste material removed during mining.
