Petit Lapin Lime Kiln

Highlight • Monument

The Petit Lapin lime kiln, an ancient lime kiln located in the Loire Valley, is a site that was once used to produce lime by burning limestone and wood, a process that dates back to Roman times. You can explore the remains of the oven, built with local stones and bricks, and admire the views of the vineyards and surrounding hills. It's a great way to discover the industrial heritage of the region and enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape.

Maison Blanche Lime Kilns

Highlight • Monument

This place has an impressive set of old lime kilns. (limestone site). Lime is obtained by calcining limestone at approximately 900°C.
These very imposing cylindrical ovens
The oven was fed by its opening located at the top (called the “mouth”) to which a ramp most often allowed access. The boilermakers alternated the beds of stone and coal to fill it to the maximum, and wood was brought to the foot of the building to ensure the ignition. The lime-burner then always had to maintain a temperature between 800°C and 1,000°C while keeping the oven filled to the maximum by replenishing it with limestone and also had to maintain the fire.
