Discover the enchanting world of Pierres-Sottes, or Foolish Stones, located in the heart of Berry, Central France. This photograph, taken in 1858, showcases the historical and mystical allure of these animated rocks that have fascinated locals and travelers for centuries. The Pierres-Sottes, also known as Pierres Caillasses, are a collection of large boulders scattered across a grassy clearing. According to local folklore, these stones are believed to be sentient beings that move and make noises during the night. The name "Sottes" comes from the French word for "fools," as it was once believed that only fools could see the stones move. The history of the Pierres-Sottes dates back to the Gallo-Roman era, with some legends suggesting that the stones were once used as sacrificial altars. Over time, the site became a popular pilgrimage destination, with travelers coming from far and wide to witness the mysterious movements of the stones. Despite the advancement of science and rational explanations for natural phenomena, the legend of the Pierres-Sottes continues to captivate the imagination of visitors. Some believe that the stones move due to the expansion and contraction of the ground caused by temperature changes, while others maintain that there is something more magical at work. Whether you believe in the animating power of these stones or not, there is no denying the allure of this mystical place. Take a moment to step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history and folklore of the Pierres-Sottes, a truly unique and enchanting destination in Central France.
