La carrière de Mane - Mane's career
France
Cette carrière fut jadis le lieux d'une exploitation de la Pierre de Mane, une pierre ocrée utilisée pour la construction de nombreux édifices. Dans les plus anciennes veines, aujourd’hui envahies par la végétation, on extrayait des blocs de taille modeste, dans le sens du pendage* des bancs, à l’aide de pics et d’escoudes. Dans les plus récentes veines on voit la marque de méthodes d’extraction modernes qui ne tiennent aucun compte du pendage des bancs. On observe aussi les traces laissées par une haveuse verticale; ailleurs par une haveuse horizontale. Des rails fixés au toit de la galerie permettaient aux haveuses de découper de gros blocs (quelques mètres cubes). Parfois, certains, trop gros et trop lourds se cassaient, obligeant l’exploitant à les retailler en blocs plus petits. --- This quarry was once the site of exploitation of the Stone of Mane, an ocher stone used for the construction of many buildings. In the oldest veins, now overgrown, small boulders were quarried, dipping the banks, using picks and squares. In the most recent veins we see the mark of modern mining methods which do not take into account the dip of the beds. We can also observe the traces left by a vertical chopper; elsewhere by a horizontal chopper. Rails attached to the roof of the gallery allowed the shearers to cut large blocks (a few cubic meters). Sometimes, some that were too big and too heavy would break, forcing the operator to cut them back into smaller blocks.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
