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.

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.

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