LA MAISON DES PIERREUX
Go there and contact
A house that explains how stone was quarried and cut in Massangis from the century to the present day.
Close to the forest of Hervaux, the small village of Massangis owes its worldwide fame to its stone quarries in operation since the 12th century. They helped to build (among others) the Iena Bridge, the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Russian Orthodox cultural centre in Paris, and even - more recently - a building in Chicago! La Maison des Pierreux retraces the history of these quarries with period photos and construction machinery, allowing us to understand the extraction and cutting of stone from the 19th century to the present day.
