LE POLISSOIR
A sandstone polisher used to polish flint weapons and tools over 4,000 years ago, a historic monument worth visiting
What's this gigantic seven-ton pebble beneath its glass cloche? It's a historical monument! This sandstone polisher was used to polish flint weapons and tools over 4,000 years ago. It has been roughly dated to between 5000 and 2000 BC. It's the largest in the region! It was discovered in 1968, during work to widen the Sensée canal. If you look closely, you can see grooves and troughs formed by repeated use. A curiosity that deserves a closer look...
