Returned to vertical at the beginning of November 2021, this menhir is the highest in Loire Atlantique with its 4.23 meters and its 24 tonnes of granite.
Incredible that it took a 120-ton crane to lift the stone, when at the time a single man, admittedly a little wrapped up, carried it on his back.
More seriously, this monolith obviously has nothing to do with the Gauls since it was already in place more than 2000 years before their arrival on the scene.
