Located on a 13-hectare site, the former Crazannes quarries offer a surprising landscape of steep stone cliffs and narrow gorges overgrown with luxuriant vegetation including ivy, bracken ferns and wild clematis.

The resistant white stone extracted from these quarries over 2000 years has been used to build or restore famous monuments such as Fort Boyard and Cologne Cathedral.

The Crazannes stone

The Pierre de Crazannes site is part of the network of Échappées Nature sites created by the Charente-Maritime department. The department wanted to preserve the quarries as a testimony to their historical heritage, their natural wealth and the work of man.
