Pierre Percée

This limestone standing stone reaches 2.5 meters in height and features an oval hole measuring 35 centimeters through its upper section.

Archaeological excavations conducted in the early 18th century determined this stone served as the facade of a funeral chamber dating back to 3000 BC.

Local residents believed in the stone's healing properties, with people rubbing against it or passing through its opening to alleviate various ailments.

The menhir stands near the center of Draché, with a parking area providing convenient access for visitors to explore the archaeological site.

This perforated stone stands as a rare example of Neolithic megalith that combines funeral functions with specific architectural elements.
