At that time, it took a week to saw a block at a speed of 1 to 4 cm per hour maximum!<br \/>\nLater on, the activity increased, the mill was modernised and the production rate increased. The stone blocks were extracted from a nearby open-cast quarry, which is still being used today by the company ROCAMAT.<\/p>\n<h3>Living industrial heritage<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-574 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cadre de sciage\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1-1147x1536.jpg 1147w, https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1-1529x2048.jpg 1529w, https:\/\/tourisme.rochefoucauld-perigord.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/Moulin-de-la-Pierre1.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>In the 90s, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moulindelapierre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moulin de la Pierre<\/a> was bought and rehabilitated by the Community of Communes, and welcomed its first visitors thanks to the installation of an outdoor walkway which allows all the mechanisms (sawing frame, wheels, gears&#8230;) to be viewed in complete safety.
