The Resteigne Quarry

Worked since at least 1777 (Ferraris map), this quarry provided stone for most of the village's houses before closing in 1981.

This sunny, highly mineral site is home to rare flora and fauna, such as the Fringed Gentian and the Blue-winged Grasshopper.

385 million years ago, this area was a shallow tropical sea, which explains why the limestone is rich in marine fossils (corals, shells, crinoids).

Safety and protection: As this is private property, only the lower level is accessible. Please keep your distance from the quarry walls. Collecting rocks and fossils is prohibited to protect this geoheritage.
