    Located in a small clearing on a peninsula southwest of the Trévoix basin, this menhir dates from the Neolithic. Easy access on foot or by bicycle, it is, according to Wikipedia, made of a block of Fontainebleau sandstone, roughly triangular, about 1.90 m high, 2 m wide at the base and 0.25 thick m to 0.70 m. He is strongly inclined "from an unknown but ancient date". It would sink into the ground at least 1.5 m deep
