WHERE CAN I GET PERLITE IN FRANCE?????

I've got about 200 litres of a perlite substance (but brown) that was used as sound and heat insulation for our upper floors.  The menuisier left me a couple of sacks when I asked (I had in mind using it as a perlite substitute, which I have used it for since) so I'm guessing it doesn't break the bank.  Very light, airy bobbles of stone-like material just like perlite apart from the colour.  I'll have a look for the name next time I go to the barn.

Here it is:

It's called Placoforme.  Usually used for levelling and insulating uneven floors before laying boards but I've found it a great perlite substitute.
