On the occasion of the 2026 Science Festival, themed "Savvy Flavors," the site of the Coumiac quarry, located in Cessenon-sur-Orb, hosted a guided tour last weekend. Led by lecturer Bérangère Bordez, participants explored the history of this former red marble quarry, now part of the Coumiac Regional Nature Reserve and recognized for its exceptional geological heritage.
Following this historical and geological exploration, a workshop led by visual artist Carine Fourment-Hullo invited participants to draw inspiration from the quarry's unique landscape. They worked with the site's distinctive shapes, colors, and textures.
To conclude this themed morning, visitors had the opportunity to taste wines from Domaine de Coumiac, a vineyard nestled at the foot of this remarkable Geosite.
