TheCaptain couldn't find on 3rd May 2005 I spent ages driving round all the roads of this hilltop village high above the river Eure (mostly because I could never find anywhere to turn a campervan) but could find no evidence of this menhir. The double village has no signs or anything to signify the presence of a menhir but hey are obviously very proud of their water tower and a bit of roman road.
