विवरण
Come and discover the ochre stone used to build Aix-en-Provence and learn the ancestral techniques of construction and cutting with a stonemason and sculptor.
Come and check out the site where they extracted the ochre stone to build the city of Aix-en-Provence and its history, then try your hand at the ancient techniques of stone cutting with a stonemason and sculptor.
In the first part of the tour, Elodie, a tour guide, will take you through this picturesque place and explain the methods of extracting this ocher-yellow limestone, called "Bibemus stone", which was used to build the city of Aix-en-Provence from Antiquity until the 19th century.
We'll head down into the canyon to check out the quarryman's work, with photos to help us out.
Next, we'll check out the outdoor workshop of professional stonemason and sculptor David Campbell, who'll fill you in on the traditional techniques of stone cutting and shaping.
Finally, he'll give you a cutting demonstration, and you'll get to practice and try your hand at cutting, tools in hand.
