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.
