Menhir de la Trivalle

The Menhir de la Trivalle is a standing stone from the Neolithic period located in the rural landscape of Rogues in southern France. This solitary monument rises roughly 1.70 meters (5.5 feet) from the ground and marks the presence of early human settlement in this region.

This stone was erected between 3000 and 2000 BCE when prehistoric communities were active in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It testifies to a time when early people raised monuments to mark their presence and connection to the land.

The stone holds a special place in local storytelling, where people have long connected it to tales of giants and supernatural acts. These narratives shape how visitors and residents experience and relate to the site.

The stone sits in an open rural setting and can be visited year-round. Visitors should prepare for unpaved paths and bring adequate water during warm months.

Local legends tell of three stones that a mythical giant allegedly threw from a nearby mountain. Only this one remained at its location, while the other two disappeared over time.
