Pierre aux neuf gradins

The Pierre aux neuf gradins features a granite stone structure with nine distinct steps carved into its surface, rising from the surrounding landscape.

Archaeological evidence suggests this megalithic monument dates from ancient times, with possible connections to Bronze Age or Neolithic period settlements.

Local traditions speak of the stone's ceremonial significance, with circular depressions in the granite once used for ritual purposes and healing practices.

The archaeological site remains accessible throughout the year via a marked path through wooded terrain, requiring appropriate walking shoes for exploration.

The granite formation contains numerous circular basins that collect rainwater, creating natural pools across the stone's weathered surface.
