Cham des Bondons, Neolithic menhir site in Les Bondons, France.
The limestone plateau of Cham des Bondons spans 10 square kilometers at 1,100 meters altitude, featuring 154 granite standing stones scattered across the landscape.
During the 1940s, Doctor Morel conducted the first comprehensive inventory of the menhirs, which were erected between the late Neolithic period and Bronze Age.
The granite monoliths stand as the second largest concentration of megalithic monuments in Europe, following the alignments of Carnac in Brittany.
Visitors can explore the megalithic site through a 5-kilometer marked trail that takes approximately two hours to complete.
Each menhir was transported from granite outcrops near Fontpadelle, with the tallest specimens reaching heights of 4.80 and 4.50 meters above ground.
