Massive Menhir Champ Dolent Built By Fairies In Ancient Beliefs Of Brittany’s People
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Nestled near the enchanting medieval town of Dol in northern Brittany, the menhir of Champ Dolent stands as a magnificent testament to human history. This awe-inspiring megalithic landmark invites us to reflect on the enduring spirit of our ancestors and inspires us to connect with the rich history of our past. Does this menhir hold ancient secrets we will never uncover?
One wonders why such a menhir is situated in the midst of an open field. The mystery deepens as we ponder its purpose and history. Researchers who have studied similar stone constructions suggest they are undoubtedly human-made monuments.

One intriguing legend suggests that the Champ Dolent harbors a mysterious secret.
