Pierre Attelée menhir, Neolithic menhir in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, France.

The Pierre Attelée menhir is a megalithic stone made of quartzite sandstone standing in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins. The monument displays the typical shape and structure of Neolithic standing stones from this region.

The menhir was erected in the Neolithic period; Pitre de Lisle noted it was deeply buried in the ground. It was temporarily Christianised by adding a small masonry base topped with a cross. It has been classified as a monument historique since 1978.

In spring, a tradition had the top of the menhir decorated with garlands of flowers. The Breton poet Joseph Rousse took this custom as the subject of his poem "Le menhir".

You can reach the menhir by walking along the Reveau or Bréneau paths that lead from the town center. A bus shuttle stop is located near the site if you prefer not to walk the entire way.

The menhir was temporarily Christianised: a small masonry base carrying a cross was added to its top. The south face is covered with marine fossils, suggesting the stone was cut from a coastal granite outcrop about 400 m from the sea. It is one of eleven megalithic monuments on the Route Bleue, listed as No. 8.
