Les Menhirs de Monteneuf

En route for our next destination we stopped at Monteneuf to explore the neolithic site dating back to 3500 BC.

Amazingly it wasn't until the 1970s that the site was discovered after forest fires in drought times.

There's a lovely walk through the woods...

...when you come across standing stones, some in lines.



I think two neolithic people were playing hide-and-seek!


Maryse showing how strong she is...

...and Tine posing elsewhere.

The rest of the gang: Maryse, Isabelle, Guy & Yves.

It looked like some spiders had been busy.

A cèpe, a very popular mushroom in France. Locals normally have their secret spot to pick them.

Later there was a reconstruction of what a neolithic home might have looked like.


On the way back to the car this tree's roots seem to have captured the stone!
