Stone Tools Museum
Vongnes
In the barn, under the converted shed, the exhibition of old stone tools highlights the quality and importance of the work of all the generations of quarrymen and stonecutters in our villages. They built our castles, our churches, then our houses, our communal ovens, our wash houses. This exhibition also pays tribute to all our sculptor friends.
Many sculptures are scattered around the village of Vongnes, near the Caveau Bugiste, including a sculpted mountain and in the Caveau sculptures in stone, many from Hauteville, and in wood.
