Menhir de Bribaudon
Menhir de Bribaudon submitted by Rubis : Site in Poitou:Charente-Maritime (17) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
This stone can be found in the locality of Bribaudon, which makes part of the village Saint Palais de Phiolin. Bribaudon means waters or forests of Boson in old French.

It can be seen next to the only road that passes through the locality, behind a litlle row.

This kind of stone is found in middle of nowhere, and always used as boundary stone. The ancient sites of theses stones are often forgotten and also the real origins.
