The Hundred Stones

These granite boulders, also called outcrops, arrived here by sliding from the top of the surrounding puys. The legend of the hundred stones tells of the existence of a chateau surrounded by stables and cottages whose lord was a hard man. When he refused to give an old man shelter, the man cursed him. A few hours later, a violent storm had destroyed everything. The one hundred stones were said to be, in fact, the dairymaid and her one hundred cows, the only remaining part of this seigneury.
