Grande Pierre de Jouy, Neolithic menhir in Jouy-le-Moutier, France.
The Grande Pierre de Jouy measures 3 meters in length with a width ranging from 2.55 meters at its base to 0.90 meters at its top.
The menhir was documented in 1874 by Amédée de Caix de Saint-Aymour, who noted its inclined position before it completely fell to the ground.
This sandstone megalith structure stands as evidence of prehistoric human settlements and construction techniques from the Neolithic period in Île-de-France.
Located on a hillside at 20 meters altitude on the right bank of the Oise River, the site is accessible through Les Grandes Pierres street.
The menhir's varying thickness from 50 to 20 centimeters and its soft sandstone composition make it a distinct example of prehistoric engineering.
