Pierre Attelée menhir, Neolithic menhir in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, France.
The Pierre Attelée menhir stands 2.90 meters tall, with a width of 1.40 meters and thickness of 1 meter, constructed from quartzite sandstone.
The megalithic monument received official recognition as a classified historical monument in 1978, preserving its status for future generations to study.
Local spring traditions included decorating the top of the menhir with flower garlands, which inspired poet Joseph Rousse to write about it.
Visitors can reach the menhir by following the Reveau or Bréneau paths, with a free Brevibus shuttle stop located 800 meters from the site.
According to local accounts, when a landowner attempted to move the stone with six pairs of oxen, he failed and experienced misfortune until his death.
