TheCaptain visited on 29th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Pierre Saint Julien is a 3.5 metre tall menhir, stood outside the main entrance to St Julien Cathedral, Le Mans. It is a truly lovely stone, made from a very heavily stratified, and vividly coloured rock. From certain angles, and in the right light, it looks for all the world to be a man dressed in hooded cloak stood outside the entrance of this sacred place. I do not know where the stone originally came from.

Any idea why the wall behind this stone looks so clean?
