Art in quarries (France)

Men were inspired by the naked walls inside the quarries. Quarrymen, men working in mushroom beds and visitors decorated some galleries with realistic or fantastic paintings showing their fear, fantasies or their revolt. All these testimonies remain intact during the centuries.
