The large broken menhir is one of the most famous stones because it is the most imposing ever worked by prehistoric man (20 meters long for about 280 tons...). Today, it offers to the eye the image of a broken giant, long called the Stone of the Fairy. It is an incredibly impressive obelisk that, standing up, must have been about 18 metres long, just like that! Smart: the Pass des Mégalithes allows you to benefit from advantageous rates to visit five unique sites in Morbihan (the Museum of Prehistory and the alignments of Carnac, the Cairn of Gavrinis, the Cairn of the Petit Mont in Arzon and the site of the megaliths of Locmariaquer).

To see, it is! We were there during holidays April and we were greeted by an archaeologist, very pedagogue, who explained to children how men in time lived or menhir was still standing.
Very clean, quiet and very well-maintained.
Not to be missed!
On site, two questions resort:

How did they bring it up to point?

And what did it occur exactly so this large menhir breaks?
superb, very exotic, a beautiful page history which really plunges us Celtic air.
