Polissoirs de Souppes-sur-Loing, Neolithic polishing stones in Souppes-sur-Loing, France.

Eight large boulders display deep grooves and smooth surfaces created by repeated stone tool sharpening actions during prehistoric times.

The polishing stones were classified as historical monuments in 1889, recognizing their archaeological importance in understanding Neolithic tool-making techniques.

These stones demonstrate how early inhabitants of the Loing Valley developed sophisticated methods for crafting and maintaining their essential tools.

Located at 9002 Le Cocluchon, the site can be reached via the D607 road and is near the Souppes-Château-Landon train station.

The group of eight polishing stones features exceptionally hard rock surfaces that have preserved prehistoric manufacturing marks for thousands of years.
