description The Lorraine region has varied geological formations, comprised between the base strata of the primary era and the Tertiary. The main formations are of carbonated deposits however, characteristic of this zone at the rim of the Paris basin. These provide a rich selection of building stone from rubble quarry stone to cut stone. The reputation of the latter often went beyond the frontiers of the country. The variety of resources was matched by technical know-how which not only met local requirements but which could also offer high quality cut stone elsewhere. From an early date such stone was exported outside the region, and it was used in architectural works of considerable quality, not only in towns but also in the countryside.
