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

The Cave aux Sarcophages dates back to the Merovingians (4th century AD), who used it to make coffins. The quarry supplied the stone, and the blocks could then be cut on site. Production stopped with the arrival of the Viking invaders, and the site became a shelter for the local population. The site was uncovered during an archaeological dig. A fascinating guide provides a lively explanation of the site and its history.

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