The island of Île d'Yeu — Miscellaneous

Île d'Yeu is an island and commune just off the Vendée coast of western France. The island's two harbours, Port-Joinville in the north and Port de la Meule, located in a rocky inlet of the southern granite coast, are famous for the fishing of tuna and lobster. Neolithic markings in the native stone and an unusual concentration of megalithic dolmens and menhirs attest to the island's early sanctity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Île_d'Yeu Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Menhir du Champ de Cesar (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes

01 May 2003 In the beautifully manicured 'Parc de Roi de Menhirs' (Park of the King of Menhirs) and outside the townhall of Arville stands the massive Menhir du Champ de César. At eight metres seventy it is the tallest menhir in the Vendée and comes at you in a classic Champ Dolent/Manio kind of way. It was once one of an alignment of three but the other two were sadly removed. A local hotel still bears the name 'Auberge des Trois Pilliers'. These massive menhirs are still such a mystery, although as part of an alignment it could at least have some astronomical significance. Although it is difficult to tell in this built up area it is likely that the menhir stands on slightly higher ground and was maybe once intervisible with other sites in the area… Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
