    In a forest clearing on the eastern edge of town, near the main road towards Estavayer-le-Lac, is the Clendy Alignement, a prehistoric stone avenue. It consists of 45 menhirs and statue menhirs and is the most impressive megalithic complex in Switzerland. The stones were discovered in 1878 as a result of the Jura water correction with lowering of the lake water level, erected in 1975 and in 1986 the system was restored.

      Surprisingly beautiful place on the rather boring bike path from Yverdon to Yvonand.

        The menhirs of Clendy are over 6000 years old and are the most important Neolithic site in Switzerland. The place was a meeting place and the statue menhirs were worshipped here.
