About the location

Treuil de la carrière Auboin

19 rue Ampère 92320 Châtillon

Hauts-de-Seine
Île-de-France

The only industrial vestige of the extraction of limestone in the Ile-de-France in the 19th century, it allowed to go up, from the underground quarry located at 35 m of depth, blocks of stone from 4 to 8 tons. It consists of two large stone piles on which rests a drum for winding the cable. The drum is driven by gears connected to a carousel on which a horse evolves to move the blocks. It ceased its activity at the beginning of the 20th century and was restored by the association PICAR member of the Union REMPART.
