Another hillside track menhir on the outskirts of the village, overlooking the river that feeds the local fontaine. High earth banks delineate the pathway to the stone.
A very impressive 7 meters high, it hid amongst the trees until we nearly bumped into it! Woodland menhirs have a tendency to turn the same colour as trees which makes hunting them rather difficult - even when accompanied by a detailed map.
A imposing stone, apparently it is well known locally and located in a well visited woodland area.
