Grande Pierre, Neolithic megalith in Louzouer, France.
The Grande Pierre stands 4.20 meters tall and features a western section made of sandstone while its eastern part consists of puddingstone.
The megalith dates back to the Neolithic period and represents one of the important standing stones in the Loiret department of Centre-Val de Loire.
Local traditions named this monument the Chair menhir, as women would sit on its chair-shaped section believing it would enhance their fertility.
The stone structure stands 4 kilometers west of Louzouer village and 1 kilometer south of the A19 highway, at the border with Griselles commune.
The monument received official protection status through registration as a historical monument on July 1, 1983, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
