aolson visited on 20th Jul 2020 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I noticed that these rather unassuming menhirs were on a website for Brittany tourism, so we decided to check them out as they were on our route. While they are nice, it is a bit of a mystery why the website would chose this site as one of about. five megalithic sites in all of Brittany to be featured.
