Good luck !

That is the correct answer, Rémi (10B). It is the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Well done Rémi !

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is situated on the northeast coast of Ireland,

THE LEGEND OF FINN MC COOL

You're right, Manon, legend has it that the Irish warrior Finn McCool built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish enemy Benandonner.

The legend tells that Fionn fell asleep before he got to Scotland. When he did not arrive, the much larger Benandonner crossed the bridge looking for him. To protect Fionn, his wife Oonagh disguised him as a baby in a cot. Then she pretended that he was actually their baby son.

When Benandonner saw the size of the baby, he assumed the alleged father, Fionn, must be gigantic indeed.

That's why, Benandonner fled home in terror, ripping up the Causeway in case he was followed by Fionn.

Next pic will be on line on Tuesday !

It's the giant causeway where Finn macCool ( a giant ) has walk. It's in Northern Ireland next to Belfast in Antrim province. The rochs are like to boots.
