La Pierre-qui-Vire

Saint-Léger-Vauban

An enormous granite block which, until 1853, could be moved by hand (a "rocking stone"), the object of ancient local traditions before being fixed in place and topped with a statue of the Virgin. A Benedictine abbey was founded on the spot in 1850 by Father Jean-Baptiste Muard, deep in the Morvan forest. Source: Wikipedia FR/EN.
