Les pierres sonnantes, Musical stones in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, France
The stones at Guildo emit metallic sounds when struck with other stones due to their high iron content and specific geological composition.
Local narratives connect these stones to the giant Gargantua, who reportedly scattered them across the area after a grand feast.
These musical stones form part of France's official intangible cultural heritage, reflecting the connection between geology and local traditions.
Visitors can reach the stones by following the GR34 coastal path westward from Notre-Dame du Guildo port for approximately five minutes.
The stones contain amphibolite minerals and produce different tones when struck, creating a natural geological instrument on the beach.
