Demography

The Field of Rocks

The interest of Barbey-Seroux resides in extraordinary a Champ of Rocks , located on the heights of the commune and whose origin is still enigmatic. Blocks of Granite of strong size, the meter, are finely arranged to form a rectangle of 400 meters out of 40, slightly tilted towards the North-West and that the vegetation did not succeed in colonizing with the wire of the millenia. The action of the Glacier S is the assumption most shared as for the constitution of this curiosity. However the origin of the field of rocks causes interrogations because the stones do not present traces of friction; they thus traversed only one short distance at the time of advanced glaciers. Moreover, they do not seem to be torn off with the close solid masses. The brutal cast iron of a powerful glacier could be the explanation about it.

It is one of the twelve sites having profited from an financial aid of the General advice to be protected and arranged for a teaching reception of the public. A circuit of discovery was marked out.
