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.

It is the only mill in France to have preserved this mechanism, which is why it was classified as a Historic Monument (including its mechanism) in 1970. The Choix mill depended in the 13th century on the abbey of Jouy, which built large agricultural operations and in Gastins two windmills, in 1228. Among them is the mill called Chouaix or Choix, from the name of a disappeared hamlet . This mill which has come down to us was then often rebuilt and its current construction dates from the 17th century. It bears two dates on its doors: 1668 on the north door and 1828 on its south door. It is built at an altitude of 132 meters. Its tower is 8 m high and 6 m in diameter. Its rack and pinion wings, built in 1845, are of the Berton type, the first model with rack, mill-tower and pivot with rotating cap. The roof is attached to the wings, made of chestnut wood tiles, called “essentes”, fixed with copper nails. The roof turns on a circle of wood located at the top of the tower. The tail, a large wooden beam, acts as a counterweight to the wings and allows the roof to be moved. He uses two pairs of grindstones from the Ferté-sous-Jouarre region, in the north of Seine-et-Marne, where there are sandstone quarries. It was restored by an association during the 1970s and officially returned to the wind on September 10, 1977. source: https://www.brienangissienne.fr/Le-Moulin-Choix-de-Gastins.html

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.
