Certain rocks form part of the cultural inheritance of Wallonia. But how many people know the nature and the age of the rocks which compose them, how they settled, in which circumstances they were folded or fractured? Many sites are also impressed a history or legends.

The work wishes to inform a large audience on these various aspects which were not treated yet in a total way. It invites the reader to go up time on more than 500 million years by visiting 78 remarkable rock sites described according to an approach identical going from 4 to 6 headings.

Basing itself on a rigorous scientific work, the authors tackled the subject in a didactitic way by privileging the photographs and the sketches compared to the text, to facilitate the reading of it.

It is a book which should find a place of choice in the libraries of experts in love with nature and their area.
