La Gran'mère de Chimquière - This Grandma was carved at two separate stages: around 2,500 BC the block of granite was erected here, dressed and smoothed to create a female figure with breats, folded arms and a girdle. During the late Roman times around AD200 or 300 the facial features were recarved and was given a set of curls and a short buttoned cape.
