Having looked through some of my sources (Brittany is relatively easy to find records of megaliths), I am sorry to say, but the Mont-Belleux menhirs have been destroyed. Two were known, the first of which was destroyed in 1828, and the larger, second menhir, more than 3 metres long, was destroyed in 1875. It is not stated whether a blackbird flew off with it !
Yes, legends such as this are still told about ancient stones sites, not only in France but seemingly anywhere where menhirs etc are found. As I slowly get to update the bare pages I have so far uploaded to the portal, I hope to include any legends as and when I can. Stones going for a drink at midnight is a common theme, as of course is buried treasure with some sort of catch before you can find it. I did indeed find on my travels a stone which went for its midnight drink, fell over, and failed to get back !
I personally think that the megalithic portal should start up a section on myths and legends surrounding these places, but we have more than enough to keep us all busy as it is. All contributions like yours here are very welcome Lisa.
If you are ever in Devon, the Oxenham Arms is well worth a visit.
