Guided tour: in the heart of the Pinet dam
## ⚡ In the bowels of the Pinet dam – A century of energy at the heart of the Raspes du Tarn
At the heart of the singular territory of the Muse and the Raspes du Tarn, dams and hydroelectric plants have shaped the landscape and contributed to the local economy for nearly a century.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, thanks to the partnership between EDF and the Muse and Raspes du Tarn Tourist Office, dive into the depths of the Pinet dam, the oldest in the Tarn valley.
👉 A rare immersion in a place steeped in industrial history, witness to nearly 100 years of innovation, where you will discover:
* the profession of EDF agents,
* their know-how transmitted from generation to generation,
* and the current issues around renewable energy production.
Located at the foot of the hamlet of Pinet, in the commune of Saint-Victor-et-Melvieu, the dam, commissioned more than 90 years ago, still plays an essential role in our daily energy life.
From the old command post to the internal mechanisms of the dam, you will know everything about this discreet giant of the Tarn.
