CARRIÈRE DU PARC

On this former shale quarrying site, commonly known as "Pierre Bleue", come and discover the skills of the old quarrymen and stonecutters amid the shale moorland vegetation.

During your visit, you'll learn about the techniques used to extract and cut blue stone, as well as the moorland landscape typical of schist soils: poor, acidic stony soil that limits the diversity of plant life. Here you'll find lichens, orpins, heather and broom, which are ideal for lizards, rabbits, foxes and other troglodytes.

The Carrière du Parc is open from 21 June to 21 September 2025.

Opening days: Saturdays and Sunday afternoons.

Opening times: 2.30pm to 6.30pm
Additional opening hours in July/August 2025: Friday afternoons from 2.30pm to 6.30pm.
