The menhir is located north of the alignment of Manio, about 50 m south of the quadrilateral of Manio, of which it constitutes an indicator menhir.It is a standing stone about 6.5 m high, but which had to reach the height of 23 m before its erosion (lightning) for an original mass estimated at 350 tonnes. By its proportions, it is estimated to owe its position and its place on the site to the coordinated work of 1,800 men. It is the largest menhir on the site of the alignments of Carnac.It owes its name to its shape which recalls that of a head.It is visible to us in its form broken by lightning.The monument dates from the Neolithic period. The menhir is classified as a historic monument in 1904, along with the tumulus and the quadrilateral. It is noted by the archaeologist Zacharie Le Rouzic. (source Wikipedia)

Saint-Michel chapel and burial mound

Highlight • Other

This chapel, like the artificially raised hill on which it stands, was dedicated to Archangel Michael (Saint-Michel). The name (from the Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also a lance. Along with Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel, Michael is one of the four archangels who (according to human conception) hold the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
