Another name for this very impressive polissoir is the Polissoir d'Estrée as it was found on the banks of the Estrée stream. This stream has been covered before World War Two. After having been carried into the courtyard of a porzellan factory, it has been finally given to the Musée du Berry, at Bourges (department of the Cher) where it is to be seen in a courtyard since 1965.
