Hiking
This quarry, operated by the Briot company, extracts Meuse limestone, which is often compared to bluestone, but with a light gray hue.
This so-called "Longpré stone" is often used in the form of worked stones or rubble and is little known to the general public.
It is primarily used in heritage projects, replacing shaped, sculpted, and entirely hand-worked stones! It is also used in the renovation of private homes where this stone was traditionally used.
