  They are described also in more specific sites like Thorame around the Mediterranean Sea and jauniaux.com for the rest of the world and for the visits of the underground world and of industrial archeology.
  Thanks to the obtaining licenses, the visits of quarries, abandoned or in activity, are always successful.
