Champ de Roches, Geological formation in Barbey-Seroux, France.
Champ de Roches is a geological formation in Barbey-Seroux where granite blocks scatter across a defined area in a striking pattern. The stones rest at ground level with relatively uniform sizing, creating a distinctive landscape within the Regional Natural Park.
The stone field formed from moraine deposits left by a glacier during the quaternary period that retreated as temperatures rose in the Vosges region. This glacial legacy reveals the ice age history of the landscape.
The stone field holds special meaning for locals who have woven stories around its mysterious appearance for many years.
The site has a marked walking path that guides visitors through the stone field and is easy to navigate. This trail connects to other paths in the park, making it simple to explore the area without getting lost.
The granite blocks show no scratch marks or wear despite lying together for ages, raising questions about how they arrived at this spot. Their uniform size and lack of friction marks present a puzzle that scientists still find difficult to explain completely.
