This is all about oysters. The bay is full of oyster beds, which are immediately consumed at the harbor.

Lovely route, first along the coast on good cycle paths, then after the large car park via all sorts of narrow roads and villages back to the campsite in Ceaux.

Numerous Breton legends surround the stone. One of the most famous tells that the menhir sinks a little deeper into the ground each year, and that its complete disappearance will signal the end of the world. Another legend sees it as a divine sign that separated two feuding brothers and gave the field the name "Champ-Dolent," or "Field of Sorrow."

South of Dol-de-Bretagne rises the Menhir du Champ-Dolent, a mighty granite block from the Neolithic period. At almost ten meters high, it is one of the largest surviving menhirs in France. Its weight is estimated at around 100 tons, and it was probably extracted from the immediate surroundings. Its original function remains unclear to this day—researchers suspect ritual or symbolic purposes, perhaps even an astronomical alignment.
