The ringing stones are located at Notre-Dame du Guildo, scattered on the beach at a place called Goule d'Enfer near the GR34 customs trail. They have the particularity of giving a metallic sound when struck with another stone.

The ringing stones are, as with many Breton stones, associated with a legend. Here, they refer to Gargantua who would have spent part of his life in Brittany and would have left traces. The legend says that these stones come from an indigestion of Gargantua who would have swallowed these stones and vomited again.
