Chambralles

«
C'est Chambralles esseulée en le nid de sa combe
Qui rêve dans sa paix sous le chant des palombes.
»

Lambert Radoux

The quarries of Chambralles, listed by the "Commission des monuments et sites" (Commission of monuments and sites) form a unity of exceptional and wild beauty.
There you can observe on the rocky faces interesting geological phenomenons.
Traces of a storm from 300 millions years are side by side with fossils of shells and plants.
These ranges of vertical sandstone are called "tartines" (slices of bread).
They can be seen from this rural village with about ten houses.
