La Sablière, embark on a guided tour filled with history

Entrée de la Sablière

Our concept

The guided tour lasts about 50 minutes to discover an artistic expression place with falun sculptures.

You will be able to discover a historical site by its extraction of falun and a magical place with contemporary sculptures highlighted.

The rose accompanies you throughout a guided tour in the underground galleries of falun dug for several millennia for several millennia until our time. You discover a complete exhibition of fossils, from the temporary underground refuge to the troglodytic dwelling cave dwellings, an old underground bistro as well as the the highlight of the show "La Sablière", a large gallery dug by the hand of man. Finally, discover a more contemporary part reserved for artists or works that are thus created with the wire of time. This tour will plunge you into the history of this amazing site.

Site très intéressant sur une époque lointaine. Mais il fait aussi référence aux 2000 dernières années ! Et un bon guide pour tout expliquer de ce que l’on voit. Ce fut une visite intéressante ! 

Very interesting site about a time long ago. But also referring to the last 2000 years ! And a good guide to tell about everything we see. It was an interesting visit !

Culture

What is a lowland cave house? 

A lowland troglodytic house, or cave dwelling as it was called in the past, consists of a central courtyard, or Carrie, from which the stone or sand was extracted.

One descended into the courtyard by a descent, called a courdoire or courdouére.

Around this courtyard, the main element of a troglodytic house on the plain, are the different elements dug into the falun (limestone deposited by the sea during the Miocene period): the dwelling, which is situated in such a way as to receive the sun, and then the other rooms dug according to need: for the pigs, the cows, workshops for storing tools, for the wine press, for storing the barrels, etc...
