It is a new kind of walk-through that lets you discover historical elements in the form of an animation featuring sound and light effects and photos which altogether create a real vibrant show. Why don’t you, during an hour, vibrate to the sound of Jules Cotte’s voice-the sound narrator.

Four areas recreated in lifelike scenery.

Area n°1: « Quarry and Yard »

This outdoor area recreates an open-cast quarry. Each detail will enable you to plunge in this work-like atmosphere: sledges, picks, cranes, pulley’s gratings and regular shocks of sledges on the corners.

Area n°2: « Lava and Water »

You will enter in the cave from where thumping cracks and underground rumbles arise... You will then soon find out Volvic water’s secret.

Area n°3: « Ancient’s spirit »

In this new area, you will find yourself on a platform above the great gallery: you will discover the depths of the cave digged by men !

Area n°4: « The Day to Day Life in Volvic »

A tribute is given to the quarry-worker’s families. You are also going to be told the story of the evolution of the stone throughout the centuries...

The amphitheatre: a privileged moment of exchange...

After a journey in the past, see our exposition and sales room which presents the craftsmen’s work nowadays. Passionate sculptors, engravers, enamellers take this ageless stone back to life... You can share your emotions and ask questions to a presenter.
