Back in the day, most building materials were sourced locally. This was a good way of avoiding the excessive transport and CO2 emissions that are ruining the planet today!
At the foot of the Mont-Dauphin rock, near the chapel of St Guillaume, a plaster manufacturing "factory" stood from the beginning of the century until 1932. The plaster was made from gypsum taken from Réotier. The essential masonry materials of the time, plaster and lime, were processed here in kilns. Currently nothing is visible to the public, as the built area belongs to a private owner. Today, the plaster factory has disappeared and farming, already a feature of the last century, has become the main economic activity.
