Micro-Adventure "Along the route of the white stone"

The built heritage of Lucenay, much like Anse, showcases the remains of the "Pierres Dorées" (Golden Stones). It is particularly the white walls that stand out, built from local limestone extracted from the many quarries in the surrounding area. Locally known as "Lucenay stone", this limestone is almost exclusively composed of oolite (small spherical grains less than 2mm in diameter). These grains were formed around 165 million years ago, in a highly agitated and fairly shallow marine water environment (0-10 metres deep).
