Bonjour à tous

During my last stay at my house in France (Nievre) I spotted, in the local
'8 à Huit', a product that could be used as stone - Pierre de Taille-.
It is a product by "Reflets de France" and is called "Crozets de Savoie"
Stonelike pieces of dough +/- 8x6 mm, some a little smaller, some square
+/- 8x8 mm.
Could be usefull, and there are plenty in a bag.

Regards
Ron Perry

Hi Ron,
thanks for the heading but these cookies are way too good to finish in a diorama :-)

Hello,
Crozet is a speciality from Savoie, a department in the Alpes. And yes, it could represent some stones, or even roof tiles. I think you may have to brush it with thin glass paper.
That's a good idea.

Thanks for the tip Ron ! At least it would be easier for us to use them in a diorama than eat their resin or plaster aftermarket equivalents
