The granite Bleu de Vire is situated in Freiburg im Breisgau (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany). It measures 568 × 108 × 137 cm.

The stones were chosen 200 years ago as an obelisk for Paris. However, the stones have been left in the quarry in Normandy because of the French Revolution. The German artist Ulrich Rückriem created the modern sculpture in 1986 by splitting the stone into five parts and putting these parts back together again. The fifth piece is partially embedded in the ground.
