Menhir de la Pierre Longue, Neolithic standing stone in Guitté, France.
The Menhir de la Pierre Longue rises 4.28 meters high, with a width of 2.20 meters and a thickness of 1.18 meters, made of quartzite stone.
After falling in 1963, this ancient stone monument was carefully raised back to its original position in 1979 to maintain its historical presence.
The stone structure belongs to a network of megalithic monuments in the region, including the nearby Lampouy alignments and Roche Carrée menhir.
Located at coordinates 48°17′41″ North and 2°04′03″ West, the menhir stands on private property but remains visible to visitors throughout the year.
The standing stone received official protection status as a classified historical monument in 1967, ensuring its preservation for archaeological research.

Throughout France, stone silhouettes still stand in fields, forests, or by the sea. They existed long before villages and roads, witnesses to a world that believed in the sky and hidden forces of the earth. These menhirs, erected over five thousand years ago, in their own way narrate the dawn of civilizations. Some are solitary, others are arranged in rows of hundreds. Some bear engraved faces, others remain silent, smoothed by Breton winds or the rain of the Central Massif. From Carnac to Corsica, from Poitou to the Côtes-d’Armor, these upright stones maintain a strong presence, almost human. Approaching them, one senses the ancient connection between human hands and the memory of the land.
