When visiting the Church of Notre-Dame de Pitie, it is near impossible to miss the beautiful stoups crafted in Versailles Marble. It is no coincidence that the marble factory of Es tours—where Versailles Marble is quarried—is nearby. In fact, several monuments of the region, including the villa Chiragan and Saint Bertrand de Comminges, also utilize this stunning marble. Until the 15th century, the use of marble was a privilege of the princes of the church, but today Versailles adorns a wide range of projects. Its muted blue/green veining on a neutral, light ground allow it to span the range of classical to contemporary. Show more
