Surprises in the future!
Located about 20 metres deep, the amazing galleries of the Godfather quarry invite you to discover the stone and its history…
A course between shadows and lights has been developed, to allow everyone to escape there…
The mining of this underground quarry dates back to the 16th century. Since then, the work of the men has traced under the village a vast network of galleries and pillars, running on more than 5 hectares.
It was not until the early 20th century that extraction ceased. It gave way to a new page of history: the culture of the famous mushrooms of Paris, an activity that continued until 1993.
