The Mushroom
Highlight • Other
The shape is a textbook example of a pedestal rock or "rock mushroom", where the softer lower part erodes faster than the upper portion.
Despite its delicate look, it's stable — though it looks like it might topple any moment.

What is more remarkable is the presence of the tumulus of Berriou in the town of Berrien where this stone is also located.
According to an interesting archaeological hypothesis menhirs and tumulus (or Dolmens) would be linked. Some believe that the alignments of standing stones would be paths that would lead the dead from dolmen to dolmen, as they progressed through the realm of the afterlife. This remains a difficult theory to prove because in the Neolithic era writing was not yet invented, and there is no evidence to support this. At most we see the presence of the two emblematic monuments of Brittany very often going together.
Kerampeulven means "the village of the menhir".

Trembling Rock
Highlight • Natural Monument
Many people try it, which gives rise to as many hesitations as to whether the stone moves or not under the action of man. Which remains very difficult to prove. For my part, I did not manage to shake it a millimeter the last time I tried it.
