Stone from the Aubigny quarry has been used for hundreds of years to build the Paris opera, town hall, national conservatory, catherdrals in Auxerre and Sens to name but a few. The blocs that were removed have left the most impressive caverns which still bear the marks of the wedges and chisels which were used for centuries.
