The Saint-Uzec menhir (in Breton: Kalvar Sant-Uzeg) is a menhir located in the town of Pleumeur-Bodou, near the Saint-Uzec chapel towards Ile-Grande. The menhir was Christianized in 1674 during a mission of the "apostle of Brittany", the Jesuit father Julien Maunoir who had it inserted in a plasterwork with access by stile, had it painted, sculpted and surmounted by a cross. The Christianization of the “standing stones” testifies to a desire to assimilate previous religious signs. It shows the Church's desire to integrate the pagan worship of stones into religious syncretism.

Pretty gravel hike, discovery of megalithic sites and small paths, and very green roads. Some viewpoints with the sea in the background.
