Unique site in Vendée, quarry, bluterie and ovens classified as Historical Monuments, form a remarkable ensemble. Built in 1873, they animated the economic life of Benet and its surroundings for more than 100 years thanks to the coal of the Faymoreau mines and the railway line. Come discover them or rediscover them during our guided tours, from the extraction of the stone to the lime. Refreshment on site
