La pierre au sacrifice - Supposedly Celtic (Armorican) sacrifice stone.
La pierre au diable - Another boulder dropped whilst the devil was trying to stop St Michel.
La pierre au moine - Looks like a dolmen but is a natural formation
The destroyed Pierre des Fées menhir must have been close to this site.
Signposted from Monthault.
Access is easy, walk towards the church and take the left hand path just before it.
We only spent an hour walking around the outer paths and in the wood itself until we returned to the noticeboard and finally discovered the above stones.
There are so many stones, I'm surprised they haven't named a few more!
