CAREERS
This site is worth a visit for its steep, white cliffs, where the shape of the boulders can be guessed.
The quarries are not open to visitors as they are still in operation and produce 20,000m3 per year. The site is worth the detour for its steep and white cliff where you can guess the shape of the blocks. At the foot of the Luberon, a road winds between vineyards and forests where a few old farms are still nestling. Formerly exploited in underground galleries, the quarries are now exploited in the open air. As for the stone, it is called the "stone of the Estaillades". Sculptors and stonemasons appreciate it for its chalky whiteness and very fine grain.
