Inland and northwest of Brest, the Kerloas menhir is a huge megalithic standing stone. |
On the left the original menhir and on the right is the small 19th century bondstone. |
Part B of the complex still contains several megaliths which form a small circle containing a 3m long menhir. |
The concisely designed model resembled a menhir, or upright prehistoric altar stone, foreshadowing the simplicity of modern art. |
At Gemini you can also see the menhir of the Visitazione situated near the homonym church and it is still in excellent conditions. |
Some areas in northern France are also known for their megalithic standing stones, called dolmens or menhir. |
