Menhir in Loiret
"The excavation of the menhir of Pierre Floche to Courtempierre in 1983-1984 led to the discovery of buried four blocks; all has been interpreted as an alignment. ; The megaliths were moved in 1985 to the village of Sceaux-du-Gâtinais, prepared and aligned near the church. The larger block is 1.80 m high."
