Transport was extremely slow and expensive, but in spite of this, according to French historian Jean Gimpel, ‘ between 1050 and 1350, France quarried more stone than ancient Egypt. ’
Pengangkutannya sangat lambat dan mahal, walaupun demikian, menurut sejarawan Prancis Jean Gimpel, ’ antara tahun 1050 dan 1350, Prancis menambang lebih banyak batu daripada Mesir kuno ’.
