oldman visited on 18th Sep 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Don't stop on the D69. The wood is enclosed on the other 3 sides by small roads all of which have signs pointing to the Menhir. It is also a pleasant wood to walk through along the path. Once you get there it certainly is an impressive stone.

TheCaptain visited on 7th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 In a little forest clearing beside the busy D. 69 road to the south of Challons, I found this stone because of the restaurante of the same name. It is a big stone, 4 metres high, more than 3 metres wide and 1 metre thick. It suffers badly from vandalism and graffitti, including lots of hippy crap in English. Nearby is a Rue de Pierre Levée, and a sign to menhir which I followed thinking that there might be another. I couldnt find anything, and so asked a chap out in his garden. It basically takes you round a back way through the woods to the same stone I had just visited, rather than getting to it by walking along and crossing the busy main road.
