La Noce de Pierres (Breton: An Eured Ven) is a prehistoric alignment of 77 standing stones located at the foot of Menez Michael (Saint-Michel-de-Brasparts) in the hills of Brittany, France [1]. Local aetiological folklore claims the stones represent a drunken wedding party who were petrified for mistreating a stranger [1].
