Pierre Longue menhir, Neolithic menhir in Le Croisic, France
This standing stone measures 2.40 meters in height and consists primarily of granulite rock positioned along the wild coast of Le Croisic.
Originally located across the road on higher ground, the menhir was knocked down during World War II to facilitate bunker construction before being repositioned in the 1960s.
The stone surface displays engravings of a cross surrounded by two hearts, representing the historical christianization of prehistoric monuments in France.
Visitors can access the archaeological site throughout the year without entrance fees, with the menhir standing at coordinates 47°17'15 North and 2°31'51 West.
In 1766, the Duke of Aiguillon ordered the fallen stone to be raised again as it served as a critical navigation marker for maritime activities.
