The production sites

The company LAPLACE exploits three open air marble quarries (Paloma, Henri IV and Sainte-Anne). It concerns a compact limestone with polypiers, seaweeds or rudistes of inferior chalk, barremite layer. These stone may be used for bridge pillars, ponds, outdoor paving,pedestal, balconies, sub-foundations,cornice, bandeaux, Ces pierres peuvent être utilisées pour piles de pont, bassins, dallages extérieurs, socles, balcons, soubassements, couronnements d'acrotère, corniches, bandeaux, springs, raised projecting stones.

Half of the production of Paloma is used in building, decoration and, on the regional level, for urban arrangements. The other half of the production is used for funeral stones in France or overseas. The Henri IV marble is more generally used in buildings (walls and floors) and urban arrangements (pavings, edges, furniture).The Sainte-Anne quarry is different due to two types of material: Alpha for buildings and decoraction, and granité, for funeral stones.
