The "Maison des Fées" (House of the Fairies) or "Maison des Feins" is a set of standing stones located in a forest in Tressé, Brittany.
The stones form a 12m long and 1,20m large passage grave set in a north-north-west/south-south-west axis. It is composed of 19 menhirs, 1 stone slab and topped by 8 capstones.
The outer side of the stone slab and another slab outside of the enclosure are decorated by a rectangular cartouche encasing two sculpted sets of breast. One of these sets has been mutilated in the 1980s.
In 1931 the English archaeologist Robert Mond was called to search this site. According to the report published by his assistant V.C.C. Collum, Robert Mond excavated a skeleton, potteries, a soapstone pearl necklace, a bronze as (Roman coin) from the reign of emperor Domitian, and two pieces of iron.
