A fallen menhir can be found at Lieu Gobin, near to La Croix Sonnet, to the east of Trouville-sur-Mer.

Possibly on an alignement with the Grosse Pierre de la Bergerie and its fallen neighbour, possibly once a marker stone along an ancient trackway.

Easy to find and see, unlike it's neighbours. From the coastroad, turn inland along the D62 at Criqueboeuf passing various cidre farms, and the brand new hospital. Turn right immediately after the hospital, and pass the dechetterie, continue up the rough trackway for a few hundred metres until it makes a right turn. The menhir is here, just over the fence into the next field, and can easily be seen.
