Sur les traces des rocailleurs explore l'histoire de ces hommes qui ont embelli les parcs et jardins de faux rochers dès le XVIe siècle et de structures en faux bois depuis l'arrivée du ciment dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Grâce à ces artisans, la rocaille connaît une période de prospérité intense jusque dans les années 1940, avant de sombrer dans l'oubli avec l'évolution des modes.
Jean-Marc Caron décrit minutieusement cet art singulier et retrace son histoire depuis la Renaissance. Il répertorie et consigne ces ouvrages en faux bois, menacés de disparition à court terme. Son catalogue comprend des ponts, des ornements de façade, escaliers, balcons, terrasses, ainsi que des pavillons, kiosques, volières et belvédères.
En suivant les traces des rocailleurs, surtout à travers les oeuvres d'Élie Pineau, maçon-rocailleur à Terrasson-Lavilledieu en Dordogne, il nous emmène à la découverte d'un art d'une grande richesse.
