Menhir de la Pierre Longue, Neolithic standing stone in Guitté, France.
The Menhir de la Pierre Longue is a standing stone made of quartzite that rises several meters into the air. The monument sits on private land yet remains visible to passersby throughout the year.
The stone was erected during the Neolithic period, standing as a testament to that distant era. It toppled in 1963 but was carefully restored to its upright position in 1979.
The stone belongs to a network of megalithic monuments across the region, reflecting how Neolithic peoples marked their territory. These structures likely served as gathering points or boundary markers for ancient communities.
The site is accessible year-round and you can view the structure from the outside since it sits on private land. Approaching from a distance allows you to take in the full height of the stone.
The monument earned special protection status in 1967, setting it apart among the region's megaliths. This official designation made it a key subject for archaeological research and preservation efforts.
