La Pierre Plantée (Les Bels)
La Pierre Plantée (Les Bels) submitted by johnstone : The southern side, Sep.13, 2018 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Modern, smooth sculptured menhir in the centre of a roundabout, east of Les Bels where the D85 crosses the D621.

It’s a rather white piece of concrete (?), rectangular and sheer standing, obviously representing a menhir of about 1.5 m.

Planted in the middle of hedges in the shape of a star.

A souvenir of the original monolith which was crashed by a van and stood at the carpool place next to the road to Les Bels.

It's sited on a raised roundabout which has a grass and hedged area marking the points of the compass. N, S, O and E




Aerial view, the stone is in the centre of the compass shape on the roundabout.
