Menhir de la Pierre Attelée
The menhir de la Pierre Attelée stands in a public park north of the Chemin Du Reveau street in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins in the Loire-Atlantique department in France .
The roughly cuboid menhir Pierre Attelée has a height of 2.7 m, a base width of 1.3 m and a thickness of 0.90 m. The south side is covered with Meeresversteinerungen, suggesting that this Menhir of granite was cut from a digestion of the coast about 400 meters from the sea.

The Route Bleue ( German "Blue Route" ) runs through Saint-Nazaire and Saint-Brevin-les-Pins , along which eleven important prehistoric megalithic monuments are located. Below this is the Dissignac tumulus (No. 1) near Saint-Nazaire. Among the dolmens of the Croix de Sandun (3), the Kerbourg (4), the du Riholo (5), that of the Rossignols (6), the tumulus of Mousseaux west of Pornic (9), the la Joselière (10) and the du Pré d'Aire (11), numbers 9–11 on the "Pays de Rets" are particularly well known. There are also three menhirs: the menhir from Bissin (No. 2), the 2.1 m high Pierre de Couche (7) and the approximately 2.7 m high Pierre Attelée (8), which has been classified as a historical monument since 1992 .
On the Rue de l'Eglise is the Meule les Fesses du Diable, a mortar with two oval hollows. Pont Gaulois or Pont Bossu is a clapper bridge between the hamlets of La Corbinais and La Tensorais near the village.
