Combourg And The Menhir Champ Dolent

After a few days we took Rebecca to Rennes to catch the train to Paris for a few days' visit and shopping. On the way back, the grandparents and grand-daughter stopped by the village of Combourg and it chateau and then the Menhir Champ Dolent.

The big name in Combourg is Chateaubriand, father of
Romanticism in France, writer, poet, historian, diplomat;

If you're going to see just one megalith in Brittany, make it a

sculpture in hay; "what the hay?" it's called in Montana
