The megaliths of La Gaudinais are located in a forest 500 m north of La Gaudinais and west of Langon near Redon on the border with the Loire-Atlantique department in the southwest of the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in France . They are the remains of three tumuli ( French tertre tumulaire ).

The dimensions of the best-preserved rectangle are approximately 17.0 × 7.0 m. The 18 stones are arranged on the outside, similar to the Demoiselles of Langon, about 900 m away . The remains of two other mounds are in much worse shape. The second is about 300 m away and has several quartz blocks in a 14 m high hill. The third is about 50 meters from the second and has about a dozen quartz blocks in a circular pattern in the middle of an 11-meter hill.

Nearby are the Tumuli de la Croix Saint-Pierre and the approximately 3.0 m long menhir La Pierre Daniel.
