The origin of stone mining dates back to the Roman era, as evidenced by a Roman tower on the neighboring town of Saint Laurent des Arbres and a medieval tower. The Romans also used Tavel stone in the city of Orange.

The golden age of the exploitation of Tavel stone was from 1800 to 1900 with the operation of 11 quarries for use in railway works. The current quarry is the union of two sites and the only one in activity on the commune.
