A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Nestled near the enchanting medieval town of Dol in northern Brittany, the menhir of Champ Dolent stands as a magnificent testament to human history. This awe-inspiring megalithic landmark invites us to reflect on the enduring spirit of our ancestors and inspires us to connect with the rich history of our past.
