Caunes-Minervois is the red marble capital of the world, renowned for being the home of the world's tallest tower.

This is the land of the famous incarnate marble, which comes in shades of pale pink to blood-red, veined with black or white. Caunes Minervois is the world capital of this marble, which adorns Versailles, the Paris Opera House, St. Peter's in Rome, the Great Mosque in Cordoba... A prestige that is still very much in vogue: Saudi Arabia's Prince Al-Walid Ben Talal chose it for the Tower of Jeddah, which is set to become the world's tallest tower. The Carrière de Marbre du Roy is a 2h30 walk starting from the Esplanade de l'Europe parking lot.

Visite guidée de carrières de marbre, dont une encore en exploration. Beaucoup d'informations intéressantes sur la région et l'histoire du marbre.

Ballade faite avec guide,très intéressante,juste un reproche: groupe de 6 personnes,chemins large pour une personne,notre guide Bernard en tête faisait des explications aux 3 premiers arrivés donc les autres n ont pas eu cet avantage.Dommage !!
