Les Causeurs, Neolithic menhir archaeological site in Île-de-Sein, France.
Two granite standing stones measuring 2.30 and 2.80 meters in height form the principal features of this archaeological location near the island's church.
The prehistoric monuments received official heritage status on April 1st, 1901, preserving these remnants of eleven Neolithic occupation sites documented in 1874.
The stones' profile resembles two figures in conversation, leading to their Breton name 'Ar Fillistérien', which translates to 'The Chatters' in English.
Located at 3 Place François le Sud on Île-de-Sein, visitors can find the menhirs standing at their original position near the local church.
Local tradition held that placing nine pebbles wrapped in a sick person's handkerchief at the base of the menhirs would transfer fever to anyone who collected them.
