 '''La Grande Roche''' ("The Big Rock") is the French name given to a rock formation located along the Arkansas River in North Little Rock. The 300 foot high outcropping is said to have been named (originally "Le Rocher Français") by French explorer [[Jean-Baptise Bénard de la Harpe]] in 1722. De la Harpe was looking for a mountain or large rock in the region called the "Green Rock" by the [[Quapaw Indians]] and purportedly made of emerald. Instead he found and named the cliff now known as La Grande Roche.
