France · Limestone
also known as Massangis Limestone, Bourgogne Jaune
The warm, fine-grained cream limestone of Burgundy — quarried at Massangis in the Yonne valley since medieval times. The stone of Versailles gardens, many Haussmann boulevards and centuries of French civic architecture. Its consistent warm cream colour, workability and heritage associations make it one of France's most enduring building stones.
