At St Palais its the rocks that tell them. Their strange shapes have probably inspired the stories related to them - and given them their names: 'Devil's Point' and the 'Rock of the Monk' on the beach at Platin and the 'Auture Well' between Concié and La Grande Côte, where legend has it two wolves that had terrorized the villagers were lured and drowned.
The Pierrières rocks have played a genuine role in the history of St Palais as a quarry, notably at the end of the 16th century when stone from here was used to build the majestic Cordouan lighthouse out in the ocean.
