A hike in the woods

The last week of vacation,                                                                                                                              Seb and I went on a nice hike about a 10 minute drive from home.

After finally finding the place and not breaking down,                                                                                 we spent a great morning and had a nice picnic before heading back to civilization.     

  

These stone quarries date back from the XI century.                                                                                    They were used for stone excavation  (which went to build the church pictured below). 

In the XX century the stone excavation became a thing of the past and 

the caverns were used for growing mushrooms.  

During WW2, the German army stocked their amunition here, 

residents took refugue here during the D-Day assults 

and the caverns which went on for several kilometers were also used by 

the Canadian army as a place to get some R&R.
