Rocher des deux Frères, Rock formation on Mediterranean coast in Agde, France.
Two volcanic rock formations emerge from Mediterranean waters, reaching a height of 21 meters above sea level near Cap d'Agde.
The volcanic formations date back 750,000 years, marking the southern end of the Auvergne volcanic chain through marine eruptions.
Local mythology tells of two brothers who saved an injured mermaid, leading to their transformation into stones by Poseidon after a fatal conflict.
Multiple diving clubs near the rocks provide opportunities to explore underwater sites, including a nearby shipwreck in clear Mediterranean waters.
The surrounding beach, Grande Conque, contains black and dark gray volcanic sand, setting it apart from other beaches in the Mediterranean region.
