Pierre Droite

Pierre Droite is a tall upright stone from the Neolithic period located near La Grange Rouge in Milly-la-Forêt. It stands as an example of megalithic monuments that survive today in the Île-de-France region.

The stone was erected during the Neolithic period when early inhabitants placed large stones to mark their presence and land. This practice shows how communities established territory and gathered for important occasions.

The stone is protected by law today, showing how important such monuments were to early communities in this region. Visitors come to experience this direct link to the lives of people who lived thousands of years ago.

The site is accessible by train via stations at Maisse and Buno-Gironville on the RER D line. Since the stone stands outdoors in an open area, wear sturdy shoes and dress for changing weather.

The stone has held its original position for thousands of years, offering a rare window into how Neolithic people worked with materials at hand. Visitors can see firsthand the building methods and engineering choices of people from that distant era.
