NOTE : I have been in contact with a researcher from the Institute of globe Strasbourg
who told me that the pink stone Vosges is formed to the desert it is time to say or Lorraine countryside resembled the present sahara, very fine sand which, under the influence of heat and iron oxide is solidified to form a very fine grain stone providing outstanding grindstones tooling shipped by rail across France
The thickness of stone often than the thickness
three meters of the sublayer consisting of sand often used in masonry which explains that during the reconstruction of the art made by items having undergone several war destruction , Raon step bridge for example it was necessary to down up the possibility of piling more than ten meters and will discover that the sand was admitted that at this depth the risk of scour was limited
We did not adopt the same provisions for the bridge over the Moselle Charmes which collapsed ten years after its reconstruction
