Stone circle / Cromlech on the islands of Chausey, in the sea to the west of the coast of Normandy.
One for the truly dedicated stone circle hunter. This circle is in a tidal zone, and gets completely covered by every tide. It consists of an 11.7 to 13.4 metre diameter circle of more than 40 granite blocks, sized between 1.5 and 2 metres, mostly now fallen.
Circle can be seen on the latest Bing and Google satellite images.
