    These somewhat isolated rocks, but visible from afar, sheltered a Paleolithic habitat 200,000 years old. During excavations in 1994, numerous tools dating from the Acheulean period were discovered there, such as bifaces and chopping tools. If you look carefully, you discover a small pink sandstone menhir nearby.
