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.

La Roche Piquée (Baudouinais) submitted by thecaptain on 24th Feb 2007. When I visited, the field was well fenced off, and full of cows, so I didn't get to visit the stone properly, but I would estimate it to be about 4 metres tall.

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.
