Didactic cultural course through 10,000 year-old rocks and their mysterious traces.
Sacred places of the Druids, celestial maps for others, topographical maps or signs for the shepherds.
In 1452 the Council of Arles established that it was sacriligious to venerate trees, fountains and, as well, rocks (arbores, fontes or vel saxa).
