Is this giant simply a rock? We are standing before the Menhir dit La Pierre à Mousseaux. This seemingly simple stone has stood here for millennia. The Menhir dit La Pierre à Mousseaux dates back to the Neolithic period, between 4000 and 2000 BC. It’s a testament to the people who lived in this region long before recorded history. Imagine, this area was once a vast alluvial plain of the Seine River. The Menhir dit La Pierre à Mousseaux, standing tall at 2.7 meters and weighing 6.5 tons, silently witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations. It saw the arrival of the Gauls, the Romans, and the Franks. Today, the Menhir dit La Pierre à Mousseaux is no longer hidden in dense vegetation. It’s a prominent feature of the Port aux Cerises Recreation and Leisure Park, a place for people to relax and enjoy nature. This ancient monolith serves as a tangible link to our distant past. It represents the enduring power of nature and the mysteries that continue to surround us.
