TheCaptain visited on 13th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 A few kilometres to the west of the village of Livré-sur-Changeon, and a few kilometres to the south of the little town of St-Aubin-du-Cormier, near to the hamlet of Baudouinais can be seen this menhir marked on some of my maps as Pierre Piquée. It is signposted, and after a little walk along a farm track it can be seen across the fields. When I visited, the field was well fenced off, and full of cows, so I didn't get to visit the stone properly, but I would estimate it to be about 4 metres tall.
