On my travels through France, I found these.

From talking to the chap there (Jonny Ferré) I am sure he told me that there was some evidence for this somewhere, and it was not the only place I saw painted stones like this.

But I have none of my notes or books to hand, and my memory is fading....

I dont see why they shouldn't have painted them though. Especially after you see some of the carvings on some of them.

Do you know when they were painted ? Most of the painting of B.A. Scandanavian rockart was done last century . Doesn't mean theywern't painted originally we don't know that but essentially ,it's vandalism .
