The menhir near Dol-de-Bretagne, at Champ Dolent (Field of Woe or Wailing -- a local name for “abattoir). Local legends associated the stone with Gargantua, the Devil, two warring brothers and Julius Caesar. Romantic scholars associated it with the Druids. The Church often ‘converted’ the stones by carving them into the shape of a cross or by inserting a crucifix.
