	La Plagne was a lead mine: une mine de plomb in the sixties. So the snow was very hard & it was very dangerous to work in it, many people died because of lead poisoning (saturnism). Then, the mayor (maire) decided to create a ski resort, it was a necessity because people had no jobs, it was the only solution for them. It was difficult to convince the farmers. And now they’re rich because it’s a big industry, the former miners in the seventies were glad because they had a good job as perch men for example, in the winter, and a second job in the summer: lumberjack: bûcheron.
	There are also seasonal workers going to the ski resorts in the  winter and staying there in the summer. They’ve built too many buildings in Savoy/ugly blocks of flats. In Switzerland they restrict this kind of building. There are a lot of English people there because they’re wealthy.
