The Yellow Quarry, formerly named Bellerive, provided from the 15th century until the beginning of the 20th century the characteristic yellow stone that adorns the door and window frames of the buildings in the region. This quarry has an ecological interest for its fauna and its flora growing in limestone environment of which 4 species of orchid are threatened.
