    • The Lime factories of Saint Astier are one of the representative sites of the Isle in Périgord blanc valley, so the name comes from its limestone soil. Guided tours are organized by this emblematic company. They will allow you to see the extraction of limestone, in underground quarries, to understand the lime manufacturing processes and to discover all the products that are made from it.

    Excellent welcome and advice from the account manager for my sector (JL Tosti). It's a pity that it's not easier to find lime concrete delivered by spinning top in the south-east quarter (26, 30, 84, 13 etc). Apparently the demand is too low whereas today all the specialists and many heritage architects recommend the use of lime products in the renovation of the old. For those who have searched for a long time like me: company Dodet sur Privas - provide long-distance concrete with lime from St Astier (+100km), are very nice!

    As a small customer, we were amazed! I didn't know about concrete and lime-based coatings. However, they are essential for anyone who wants to renovate while respecting old buildings. However, these techniques - all in all quite simple - are not well known to professionals. With us, the rehabilitation of a large room in an old house was made possible thanks to the support of the Saint-Astier team, more particularly their advisor Peter JEAN whose advice was precise, generous and structuring throughout. throughout the renovation process. Many thanks to him for tirelessly supporting us: lime concrete slab, lime screed, hemp lime wall insulation and finishing coating - always with lime. A great experience, with the stress of any renovation reduced by half thanks to them. And thank you to Saint-Astier for its different limes of impeccable quality, including the one allowing lime-hemp insulation with the best lambda on the market!! You will have understood, I am a big fan!
