Company Description

MARBLE WORKS & QUARRIES SINCE 1870
It is with passion that the Lugan family has been exploiting its careers from generation to generation for almost a century and a half.
Municipality of Tavel
The town of Tavel, in the Gard, historically known for its rosé wine, is a magical place where the ground and the basement are in perfect harmony to give shape to unique materials.
Romans
The origin of stone mining dates back to Roman times, as evidenced by a Roman tower in the neighboring town of Saint Laurent des Arbres, as well as a medieval tower. The Romans also used Tavel stone in the city of Orange.
Golden age
The golden age of the exploitation of Tavel stone was from 1800 to 1900 with the exploitation of 11 quarries, for use in railway works. The current quarry is the union of two sites and the only one in operation in the town.
