Quarries of Saint-Cloud, in the Trocadero Park
The underground quarries of Saint-Cloud (of coarse limestone) are used as building stone. The grand facade of the Colonnade of the Louvre is partly made with this stone. The rest comes from the underground quarry of Saint-Leu Esserent. It also used the stone to build the castle of Saint-Cloud, located a few tens of meters from the quarry.
The walls of building quarry were partially dismantled to get new stones. They were used to renovate the castle of Saint-Cloud in the 19th century. However, the consequences of a large fire, the foundations were razed. The stones stolen are become useless.
