TheCaptain couldn't find on 22nd Nov 2004 Marked on the IGN Top 25 map as being beside a lane in a wooded area near to the Château de Néretz just to the west of the village of Teutheville-Hague, are these two menhirs, said to be 3 metres in height. However, the lane shown on the map turned out to be a gated private driveway, and so I spent no further time looking for these stones.
