La Noce de Pierres

La Noce de Pierres Breton: An Eured Ven (The Wedding Party) is an alignment of 77 standing stones at the foot of Menez Michael (Saint-Michel-de-Brasparts [fr]) in the hills of Brittany. Aetiological folk tales say that the stones were originally the members of a drunken wedding party, petrified for their mistreatment of a stranger.[1]

The monument was first documented in 1850 by Jean Bachelot La Pylaie,[2] but it was not studied by archaeologists until 1978. It was classified as a monument historique (historic monument) in 1968 and registered in 1980.[3]
