Brittany (8): menhirs

Menhir - tall stones (we would call them 'standing stones) derived from the Breton: 'men' (stone) and 'hir' (high or tall). This series includes one famous, very large, broken menhir - it's thought that an earthquake loosened it, as it was not sunk deep enough in the ground, and then it broke as it fell; also, a smaller stone that fell but did not break.
