ブルネモンの天然記念物・トップ4

The menhir is located in the marsh of Aubigny-au-Bac, on a footpath leading to Brunémont. It is a block of Landenian sandstone 2.90 m high (including 1.48 m above ground) by 2.15 m wide and 0.70 m thick. It is said to have been sunk to about 2.40 m. Shaped like a horse's head, it is associated with a prehistoric megalith despite the absence of evidence.

not highlighted enough. But it’s a komoot must-have now 🥳

They are part of the unknown treasures of Arras and the Pays d'Artois. The various megalithic sites are good for a beautiful walk, among mysteries and legends, history and extraordinary landscapes. Set sail for the Scarpe valley and the Sensée valley, in the wake of the megaliths of the Pays d'Artois.

The story goes that once the people of the country showed the scratches produced, according to legend, by the claws of the demon when he seized the stone. Streaks do indeed appear on two sides of the menhir… But are they the same as before or do they come from the destruction of the stone in 1918

Menhir to discover. A descriptive panel is present at the parking lot of the site. Access is by a grassy path, not dented, practicable.

Menhir part of the local history to discover. Be careful, the place is very swampy and it is more easily accessible in dry weather 😉.

Very beautiful monument of local history to discover during a walk in nature.

It is a magical place, sheltered in a small clearing, which is accessed by a footbridge. Don't make (too much) noise ...
