[FR] Avec ses 8.70 mètres, dont plus de 7 mètres au dessus du sol, c'est le plus haut menhir de Vendée.
Sa grande masse l'a sauvé de la destruction. Il est le seul rescapé d'un ensemble de pierre dressées signalé au siècle dernier.
On notera que l'actuel hôtel de ville était alors "l'auberge des trois piliers".
