Menhir on the Côte Sauvage (Wild Coast): the first signs of human presence in Le Croisic date back to the Neolithic period
Classified in 1887, the Menhir de la Pierre Longue is located on the Côte Sauvage du Croisic, accessible via a seven-kilometer coastal path. Dating back to the Neolithic period, this granulite menhir was discovered lying flat in 1766, and was erected by the Duc d'Aiguillon as a maritime landmark. Knocked down during the Second World War, it was raised closer to the cliff in 1976. One face, engraved with two hearts and a cross, probably dates from the 17th or 18th century. Eroded by sea spray, the menhir remains associated with local legends evoking a pagan place of worship, the "Hirmen festivals".
