Pierre du Trésor submitted by TheCaptain on 28th Jun 2007. Deep in the darkest depths of Fougères Forest can be found the Pierre du Trésor.
It is possible to wriggle underneath it, if that should be your want.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Would like to visit
Kerloas menhir submitted by thecaptain on 23rd Jun 2006. This is the biggest standing menhir in Europe, if not the world, at nearly 10 metres tall, and has lost the top 2 metres after a lightning strike!
The stone, which is not local and has been brought to this hilltop site from more than 2.5 kilometres away, has been beautifully shaped, and tapers both into the ground, and up to a point.

This was about 1:30pm, late March 2008, in a hazy sun, and some of the carvings on the front face can be seen. An hour or two earlier would have been better, as would a stronger sun. Can't have everything.
But after a while, you "get your eye in" and more and more wonderful carvings come into view. I can see on here (with the eye of the kno...
