Rock outcrop in Creuse

Text from the folder:
After walking 700 meters through woods, ferns and dry stone walls, you will see the first stone of the site “Tarann”, god of the thunder, also called “Butter Ball”.
A little further the “Pains de Sucre”. These three blocks, which come from a single piece, with grooves which seem to have been dug over the entire length of the stones. The work of erosion!
Near the “Pains de Sucre”, next to the balancing stone, or “Swing”, you will meet “The Cradle of the Devil”, this largest block, which measures 25 meters long, is also called “Altar of Gallic sacrifices". This group has several basins dug in granite.
The most curious of these rocky mastodons is undoubtedly “La Bascule or Teutatès”, god of the arts and roads. Finally, there is the stone named “Hesus”, god of war, located to the north, also called “La Boussaquine”.
