Approvisionner les villes en briques et en tuiles : les carrières urbaines d’argile en France by Bruno Comentale

“…Moreover, the presence of clay quarries very close to cities and their incorporation into a growing urban fabric seems more uncertain than in the case of hard rock quarries about which more is known. After noting the concentration of the brick and tile industry in the vicinity of several cities in France, the study addresses the cases of the cities of Paris, Lille and Beauvais and the areas within these cities where bricks or tiles are more frequently used in buildings. …”
