Presentation

This megalithic site at Le Rocher also called "La-Pierre-à-la-Martine" is undoubtedly of the same origin as those of the megaliths located in the town.
This block of sandstone can be seen in a cultivated field near Saint-Père-en-Retz.

This elongated stone is quite large: it is 5.80 m long, 3.30 m wide and 1.80 m thick.

Although it is not possible to gain direct access to the stone, which is located in a private property, it is possible to make out the following features:
  • on the top and the periphery of the cupules,
  • on the edge of the upper part, an artificial basin approximately 30 cm in diameter.
