Menhir du Grand Berger

Menhir du Grand Berger, Neolithic menhir in Vert-Saint-Denis, France.

The menhir du Grand Berger is a single slab of millstone (meulière), 2.20 m tall and up to 1.30 m wide at its base, leaning toward the northeast. Its grey, rough surface is patched with moss and lichen, and the blocky top overhangs slightly on one side. No inscription is carved on it.

The menhir is a Neolithic standing stone, but its exact date of erection is not recorded in the sources. It stands in the commune of Vert-Saint-Denis, in Seine-et-Marne, and is made from a single slab of millstone. It is tilted toward the northeast, a detail visible when approaching the stone.

The name 'Grand Berger' comes from shepherds who traditionally gathered near this stone to meet and talk. It shows how such stones served as gathering places for the local community.

The menhir stands on the woodland floor of Vert-Saint-Denis, in the Seine-et-Marne department, roughly 6 km southeast of Melun. It is reached on foot along forest paths, so wear shoes suited to leaf-covered ground. The stone has no fence or sign; approach it without touching the moss and lichen on its surface.

The menhir stands 2.20 m tall, with a base up to 1.30 m wide, and leans toward the northeast. Its grey millstone slab is covered in moss and lichen, and its top overhangs slightly on the left. No inscription or sign marks the stone.
