The two very popular comic book heroes Asterix and Obelix – not only in their literary homeland of France – naturally discover Brittany and the enormous stone rows from ancient times found there on their very own "Tour de France" (titled "Le Tour de Gaule," volume 5 of the French edition, but volume 6 in the German edition). However, the explanation given to the two travelers for the origins of the megalithic culture is too simplistic: People say the soil is so poor, only stones grow there; this can be read in the comic.
