Carrière d'Aubigny

The network of underground caves extends beneath the surface, displaying centuries of stone extraction techniques with visible tool marks on walls.

The quarry provided limestone blocks for numerous Parisian landmarks, including the Opera House and City Hall during the nineteenth century construction efforts.

The site maintains traditional stone cutting methods through educational workshops where participants learn ancient extraction and processing techniques.

Tours operate from April through November, with extended hours during July and August, offering guided visits at 9.50 euros for adults.

The underground passages contain preserved marks from various quarrying tools, presenting a chronological record of stone extraction methods through time.
