The Menhir de la Pierre Longue was classified in 1887. It is located on the wild coast, and it can be discovered by walking along the hiking trail that crosses the Tour peninsula over about seven kilometres. The first signs of the human presence at the Croisic date from the Neolithic with the menhir of Pierre Longue. From the location of the menhir, we have a view of the town of Batz-sur-Mer. This menhir menhir was found lying on the ground in 1766. The Duke of the Stimulus raised it so that it could serve as a reference to navigators. Shot by the occupier during the Second World War, he was raised in 1976 and placed closer to the cliff. One of its faces consists of engravings - two cores regulating a cross - dateable from the 1744 th or th centuries, perhaps carried out during the redressement recovery in, but possibly before. They are very eroded by exposure to spray since the displacement of menhir. The legends of the peninsula of Croisic reported (since the th century continuously in archives of very different origins, civil as clergy) that this stone was a meeting place, and the pagan cult of the "fiestas of Hirmen".
