Description
There is a legend associated with the Pierres Folles, which is printed on a little sign nearby, but which I struggle to translate adequately.
Its along the lines of Gargantua playing quoits here, and destroying houses and the flocks, and causing terror in the region. One day, he crushed a dozen sheep while playing near Rosnay, and the sheepdogs got fed up, and threw two quoits back at him, which stuck in the ground here forming the Pierres Folles.

Or is it two quoits thrown by Gargantua at the sheepdogs, after they had attacked him ? More likely I think.
