La Pierre Percée is made of calcareous stone and measures one meter forty high. This stone was sculptured with a hole in it and a little cross above it. The cross has disappareared a long time ago.

It can be found on a crossroad, in a little locality called La Pierre Percée on the D700.

The legend says that the young people that pass through the hole, will be married within a year.

    No problem, just put the best location you can, often 'Nearest Village' or 'Nearest Town' is the best we can get until someone comes along with local knowledge.
