This set of four monumental ovens is an important witness to the industrial activity of the English Channel in the 19th century. A thematic and sonic tour allows you to imagine the intense human activity, a century and a half ago, and to discover the history of lime kilns in the English Channel, the process of making lime, the types of kilns and the use of lime in agriculture, construction or art. The first three stations of the route are accessible to people with reduced mobility, with a bird’s eye view of the ovens.
