Crozon is a town in Brittany, northwest France. It sits on the Crozon Peninsula, where medieval and 17th-century fortified towers line the Route des Fortifications. The coast near Morgat Beach is known for its multicolored sea caves, including Grotte de l’Autel. South, tiny L'île Vierge Beach is surrounded by rugged cliffs. Nearby, the House of Minerals is a museum with a collection of fluorescent minerals. The peninsula was one of the places where prehistoric people built their sanctuaries ( Dolmen of Rostudel , Dolmen of Pen-ar-Run , Menhir la Républicaine, rows of stones from Lagatjar ). They are known thanks to the descriptions of Christophe Paulin de la Poix de Fréminville , Chevalier de Fréminville (1787–1848) and Jean-Marie Bachelot de La Pylaie (1786–1856) and were still in 1830 grandiose complexes. A row of eight stones is aligned across the headland overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. None of the stones are more than a meter high and they are about six meters apart. Several stones lying around are perhaps the remains of other rows. The Lostmarc'h menhir stands near the row and is clearly fused with it, if not part of it. It is about 2.8 meters high and stands in a dominant position near the tip of the headland.
