6 LA CHAPELLE DE SAINT-VIO, Tréguennec, Finistère, Brittany



The chapel with the nearby menhir.
It is said that the hemispherical phallic menhir can cure infertility. Women used to rub their bellies against it…

  1. Thanks for this posting! I visited this place in February 2012. I walked up to the menhir and the weather was just like in the photos -- sunny, calm. There was a cool breeze, silent except for the wind. I walked around the stone, was not sure if I wanted to hug the side that was warm from the sun, or the cool shady side. I hugged the shady cool side and as I did suddenly just said "I love you" and I have no idea why! The stone just felt GREAT. :-)) I will always remember the stone and the way it made me feel.
