Stone of Saint Vio, Stone stele near Saint-Vio Chapel in Tréguennec, France.
The Stone of Saint Vio is a stone monument standing near a chapel in Brittany. The monument features cup marks on its surface and rests on a flat base near dune terrain.
The monument dates from the Iron Age and was built roughly 2,500 years ago. It underwent restoration in 1988 after having been split into two sections.
The stone connects to a nearby spring that locals use in their daily routines. This bond makes it a place where old beliefs and practical life come together.
The stone lies near a chapel and is easily reached from the road leading to the village. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and windy conditions in this coastal area.
Locals once believed they could control the weather by rotating the stone itself. This practice was widespread before World War I and shows the deep bond between the monument and local beliefs.
