Group of 6 menhirs near the farm of "Pré Fleuri" at the entrance of Chessières above Ollon in the district of Aigle.
The menhirs are aligned in two groups A-C-D and A-E-F. The menhirs B-C-E form an arc. The menhirs C-D are spaced about 3m as far as the menhirs E-F. You can find more info on the website (in French) http://www.lieux-insolites.fr/suisse/huemoz/huemoz.htm.
