The two popular comic heroes Asterix and Obelix discover on their very personal "Tour de France" (under the title "Le Tour de Gaule" volume 5 of the French edition, on the other hand volume 6 in the German-language edition) of course also Brittany and the people that appear there , huge rows of stones from distant antiquity. However, the explanation for the emergence of the megalithic culture there is too simple: people say the soil is so bad that only stones grow there; can be read in the comic.

Nothing but suggestions from historians: The cult of the time could have been linked to divinations concerning the destiny of individuals. The sky and the stars would organize a pre-written life for men. Ceremonies in open places allowed a population to be in contact with a sky which gave the orientation to follow in order to survive.

These rows of stones are said to have originally consisted of up to 400 stones. Many of them had overturned over the centuries. In 1928 they were raised again. Today only a fraction of these menhirs remain.
