Pierre Blanche (Pocé-les-Bois)
Trip No.12 Entry No.12 Date Added: 4th Mar 2018
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Ille-et-Vilaine (35))
Visited: Yes on 18th Jun 2013. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Pierre Blanche (Pocé-les-Bois) submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Jun 2010. The Pierre Blanche of Pocé-les-Bois, south of Vitré, is a nice 4 metre tall menhir. It has a nice pointy top, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has been hit and broken by lightning on occasion.

Le Cleray submitted by TheCaptain on 30th Jun 2010. It is indeed about 4 metres tall, almost 3 metres wide at the bottom, and a metre thick. It has a little sign stating it is an ancient monument, and that the area around here has been lived in for millennia.

Visited: Yes on 15th Jun 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Allée Couverte le Rocher Jacquot submitted by thecaptain on 24th Feb 2007. It looks like there was perhaps another chamber nearby, indeed perhaps the whole thing was once several passageways and chambers within a single mound, of which traces survive.
A confusing site.

Dolmens des Grays
Trip No.13 Entry No.55 Date Added: 14th Apr 2018
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 30th Jun 2012. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 4
Dolmens des Grays submitted by thecaptain on 19th Jul 2006. East along the coast from Penlann headland are found the remains of this large cairn.
It is difficult to make anything out nowadays, other than there are lots of large rocks on the remains of a large mound, overlooking the Villaine estuary.
Closer inspection shows this to have once been a large 30 metre diameter cairn, with at least three passage tombs within it, two of which still have a few capstones in position.
