Tuffeau stone — in French, simply tuffeau or tufeau — is a local limestone of the Loire Valley of France. It is characterized as a chalky or sandy, fine-grained limestone, white to yellowish-cream in appearance, and micaceous (containing some white flakes of mica, or muscovite). The soft stone is extracted from numerous quarries and has made a major mark on the architectural landscape of the Loire and its tributaries — especially the valley's world-famous chateaux.

  • Le tuffeau, ou tufeau, est de la craie micacée ou sableuse à grain fin, de couleur blanche ou crème parfois jaunâtre, et contenant quelques paillettes de mica blanc (muscovite). Cette pierre de taille tendre permet de bâtir et de réaliser les décors typiques de l'architecture de la Renaissance présente dans les régions autour de la Loire. (fr)

  • Il tuffeau è una roccia diffusa in Francia, specialmente nella Valle della Loira. È costituita da calcare sabbioso a grana fine, di colore bianco o crema, a volte di colore giallastro, e può contenere fiocchi di muscovite. Essendo facile da lavorare, è impiegato principalmente in architettura, per lo più nella zona intorno alla Loira e ai suoi affluenti, nella quale è stato largamente impiegato per la costruzione dei castelli della Loira.
