This marble is extracted from the Ilhet Quarry, located in Sarrancolin in the Pyrenees.

​

Sarrancolin marble stands as a testament to both the grandeur and the ambition of humankind. Louis XIV, the Sun King, chose it to adorn France’s most magnificent landmarks: the Palace of Versailles and many of the Loire Valley castles. In Paris, the Louvre Museum and numerous private mansions are also graced with Sarrancolin marble.

 

Among other prestigious sites:

• The Grand Trianon

• The Château de Fontainebleau

• The Monte Carlo Casino

• L'Opéra Garnier

• The tombs of Vauban and Turenne at Les Invalides
