This mysterious archaeological site was a quarry that supplied the stone used to make sarcophagi

Immerse yourself in 1,500 years of history with a visit to this site, the only one of its kind in Europe to be classified as a Historic Monument. It dates back to the Merovingians, who used it to make coffins. Discover a quarry of Merovingian sarcophagi (4th century AD). The quarry supplied the stone, which could then be carved on site. The site, uncovered during excavations, is also a refuge dating back to the Viking invasions, with spectacular "cathedral" cellars.

Interesting visit, even if a little fast, but you can find vintners close by that sell very fine wines.
