The Stone House is a complex comprising: - an old 19th century farmhouse leaning against the limestone rock - an exhibition hall called "Front Gallery" of great architectural quality - a former underground quarry that has become a turn-based limestone quarry and a mushroom-growing site in Paris - an abandoned open-pit quarry where nature meets the remains of stone transport extractions.
