Périgueux, France capital of the granite pavement
The capital of the pavement, this is how Périgneux was named in the 1900s, with 9 quarries and nearly 400 workers who worked there.
Today, there remains only one granite site, that of Rochains, inaugurated in 1983. The convention of this career has just been renewed by the mayor for a period of thirty years.
Indeed, nearly 70,000 tons of granite are produced and distributed throughout the department, while 750 tons are reserved for the municipality and intended for the maintenance of rural roads in particular. An activity all the more advantageous for the economy because 70 to 100 trucks leave the site every week.
