Pierres de Mère et la Fille
The Pierres de Mère et la Fille (also called Menhirs de "La Mère et la Fille" - German "Mother and Daughter" ) are northeast of Saint-Jean-de-la-Motte and La Flèche in the Sarthe department in France .
From the former row of stones, three menhirs have survived the destruction of the 19th century, two of which are known as mother and daughter.
The mother stone is more than 4.0 meters high and the western one of the couple. The daughter in the east measures just over 2.0 meters. The two pointed plates are about 8.0 meters from each other in an east-west direction.
The "Pierre Potelée" is about 425 m away. The menhir in the forest is a weathered plate between 2.5 and 3.0 meters high and about 2.0 meters wide with many natural holes on one side.
