Pierre de Kazeg Ven
Pierre de Kazeg Ven submitted by GinnynJohn : This stone is very difficult to locate - there are few references to it apart from old Breton postcards. It is the remains of a much larger stone that was used as a fertility stone - local women and even Anne of Brittany, all used it's powers of fecundity! Apparently, viewed from above it is a very rude shape! Fortunately for Ginny it did not work! (Vote or comment on this photo)
