    Well, if I knew you were going to post the google street thingy I would have stayed home yesterday to avoid wetting me feet in the muddy field where the menhir is found.
    Of course, instead of sticking the google thingy I went out to take the pictures and I experienced the snow and the below zero temperatures typical in the mountains of the Cantal now in Novembre. Vive le monde virtuel, eh?

Peyreficade means standing stone in Occitan. Peyreficade is a little hamlet along the D8 (departmental road 8), the menhir is in a private property.
The menhir is visible from the road as a prominent stone in the middle of a field. It is easy to found because it is also signed posted and it is well known in the Cantal (Auvergne)
The hamlet of Peyreficade is found between the towns of VĂ©zac and Carlat along the D990 and following the D8 to the village of Labrousse.
Playing with Google Earth I obtained the following coordinates: 44.5305 North, 2.32358 East. [Coordinates updated to 44.881005 N, 2.542671 E]

The menhir, today disappeared, of Pierrefite, in Saint-Flour's planèze, was surmounted with saint Lambert's statue to which becomes attached a legend. A sleepy herdsman having swallowed
A snake, her mother carried it in the feet of saint Lambert's statue. The child threw back the reptile. It is since this time that snakes left the region. The statue is
still in a niche next to Talizat's cemetery.

    Hi Ocdolmen, I think this comment about Pierrefite does not belong to this page. Saint Flour is a bit far from Carlat, and the legent does not seem to refer to Peyreficade de Carlat.
