Menhirs Jean et Jeanne, Prehistoric standing stones in Sauzon, France.
The Jean and Jeanne menhirs stand 340 meters apart along departmental road 25, near the wingless mill of Kerlédan in Sauzon.
These Neolithic standing stones, classified as historical monuments since 1943, replaced two original megaliths that were destroyed in 1830 for building walls.
Local folklore tells of Jean, a bard's son, and Jeanne, a shepherdess, whose forbidden love led druids to transform them into stone monuments.
The red schist Jean menhir reaches 4.70 meters high, while the granite Jeanne menhir stands at 4.05 meters, accessible from the D25 road.
During full moon nights, according to regional tales, a fairy breaks the spell allowing the stone lovers to reunite temporarily.
