No info on age or anything...

My guess (if it is not actually man-made) would be that it is fairly modern, and simply "limed-over" from exposure at a hot spring or something. The best I'd hope for would be that it came from the Quercy fissures, where it became coated with travertine.

One hot-spring example is known from the US it might be a few thousand years old:
