Coët-ar-lead
The row of stones from Coët-ar-Blei (also called Coët-er-Blei or La Chaise de César) is located on the “Chemin des Megalithes” ( German “Route of the Megaliths” ) in the forest north of the hamlet of Crucuno , near Erdeven in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France .
The northwest-southeast oriented row is larger than it appears in the forest. The 120 stones form the end of an approximately 2.5 km long interrupted arrangement of menhirs that begins at Kerzerho. It meanders through the Mané Bras forests to end at Coët ar Blei.
Some menhirs are up to 2.8 meters high. About 30 are still standing in about 10 not always straight rows, with the largest piece in each row aligned with one another, forming a kind of chessboard. A small bowl is visible on a 2.5 m long lying block.
La Chaise de César ( German "Caesar's chair" ) is a large stone, shaped like a chair due to damage, which, as a front stone, is part of a series of alignment.
