THE MARBLE MOUNDS OF FAVARS

This place hidden in the middle of the Causse Corrézien will show you the secrets of a little known loom. After entering the circle of more than 2 ha similar to a great ancient circus, you will be surprised to see that Didier alone exploits the quarry, moving from one gear to another to extract blocks that dynamite has uncovered. Marble comes from a very hard limestone deposit, stacked on eight layers of different colors. Winner of the Élysées Prize, your host designs all the polished drawing design and will explain to you in detail the procedures for extraction and rearrangements. Then you will visit the sculpture workshop to see how the stone is serious. Steeped in the local architecture, it carries out in a traditional way all types of personalized and custom-tailored works from the stones of the causse corrézien deemed very harsh: door frames and windows, all styles, bread oven, flooring, decoration elements… in brief all stone works.
