Valentine's Rock

According to archaic tradition, unmarried girls go there on Easter Monday to consult the menhir about their wedding.

This natural granite outcrop, in the shape of a mushroom, is a valuable witness to the continuity of cults related to fertility over time.

Adorned with megalithic engravings of the "dimples" type, this fertility stone of more than 2m in height has its top covered by a mantle of small loose stones, representative of an ancient pagan rite that has remained until today.

According to archaic tradition, unmarried girls go there on Easter Monday to consult the menhir about their wedding. Each stone thrown on top of the monument and falling represents a year of waiting for marriage.
