The Menhir de Chablé, which sits enthroned on a private property, is a standing stone of white quartz, about 5 metres high. Access is gained by crossing the farmyard and vegetable garden. Legend has it that the giant Gargantua, preparing to swallow his child, broke off a tooth and planted it in Chablé.

Standing 73 metres high, it dominates the entire Rance Valley and offers a 360° panorama, near the former windmill at La Chaise. Legend has it that this quartz promontory is the tomb of Gargantua. Its size was such that it had to be folded into seven to bury him!
