Menhirs d‘l Stantari
About
Menhirs d‘l Stantari in Corsica stands at 20100 Sartène, France, in the island's south-western interior. Sartène sits inland from Propriano, with Ajaccio to the north-west and Bonifacio to the south. The site is an attraction of standing stones, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 132 reviews. Those 132 reviews make it one of the better-known prehistoric sites in the Sartène area.
Visitors should expect a walk to the stones rather than a museum building, with the monuments set in open maquis. Porto-Vecchio and Corte lie within reach across the island's southern half. Bastia, Calvi and Saint-Florent sit further north and west along the coast.
Spring and early autumn are quieter and milder, and many seasonal businesses close from October to Easter, so a spring or autumn visit suits the site. French is the main language spoken across the island, which helps when asking for directions to the stones.
Markets, village fêtes and religious processions are highlights of the island summer calendar, which can be worked into a trip around Sartène. The 4.4/5 rating from 132 reviews reflects steady approval from those who make the detour inland.
