In the quarries under the watertank of Montsouris. Due to the weight of the reservoir, quarries were massively reinforced

The sandstone is a soft rock found throughout the Lower Dauphiné, where it is often the only building stone. This underground quarry is one of the major mining sites in the Drôme.Exploitées since ancient times, these quarries supplied the materials to major projects such as the medieval cathedral of Valencia College Saint-Barnard de Romans. Still used for the construction of the Canal de la Bourne in 1877, molasses is used less and less irreversibly from that time, mainly because of competition from cement.

The limestone quarry of Chanaz has been converted into mushroom farm once the site abandoned.
