Menhir of Pierrefitte 3 m high is known under the name of Saint-Aubierge gable or Saint Flodoberthe. These names testify to the Christianization of pagan sacred places during the early Middle Ages. According to the legend Saint FlodoBerthe, a nun from Faremoutiers Abbey in the 7th century decided to establish a chapel between Faremoutiers and Saintes. Not finding a stone to carry out her project, she shared her wish with her sister Sainte Aubierge, the latter brought back the menhir in her apron, the shape of which evokes a church gable, she let go of the corner of her apron and the stone stuck. in the Maillard pond in its current place.

Created in 1612, this historic park in Coulommiers is one of the most beautiful in Île-de-France. Beautifully flowered, it offers a pleasant place to walk in all seasons.

The menhir is made up of a large sandstone slab 3.50 m high with a width at the base of 2.40 m and an average thickness of 0.50 m. It has an oblique groove approximately 2 m long by 4 cm wide on its face and obtained by staking to a depth of 1 cm. An excavation carried out at the foot of the menhir did not yield any archaeological material2. Sainte-Flodoberthe and her sister Sainte-Aubierge both built their respective chapels in Amillis and Saint-Augustin. Sainte-Flodoberthe having finished building hers wanted to offer a beautiful stone to her sister but on the way she met the latter who came to tell her that she had also completed her project. Sainte-Flodoberthe then abandoned the stone on the spot. As for the groove, it would have been made by the handle of Sainte-Flodoberthe's distaff which spun while walking with the stone under her arm2.
