France - megaliths and more

Just inland from the campsite were various megaliths (standing stones). Most of them are upright stones, but this is a fancy one with a balancing rock. We than went to Avrillé and had little wander around the town with the aid of a map from the tourist office.




In the centre of town is the covered market which has a superb vaulted roof.








This is the King of Standing Stones (7.02 metres high) in the park behind the Marie (Town Hall). Yes, that is me holding it up!



Not far from the campsite were beaches that stretched for miles. We had just walked from the site along the beach and decided that we deserved a little refreshment.



We spent some time people watching and wondered if they were pushing this guy off on a transatlantic voyage.
