TheCaptain visited on 16th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Coming from Plos, this fine fellow stands in a little shed protecting him from the worst of the weather, just inside the yard of the first farmhouse on the right. Like the Moulin-de-Louat statue-menhir it's a lovely piece of reddish pink stone, and was only discovered in 1981.
He stands 2 metres tall, and all his features can be clearly made out, both front and back. He has two rings for eyes, but no nose or tattous on his face. Arms and hands are clear, as is his "Objet" on its shoulder strap. His belt has a nice buckle, and his legs have all their toes clearly in place. He carries a weapon identified as a boomerang on the information sheet I have. The belt and shoulder strap continue round the back, and he has the full long hat or plait. This really is an excellent statue menhir, although it is difficult to photograph decently.

The belt and shoulder strap continue round the back, and he has the full long hat or plait. This really is an excellent statue menhir, possibly the most beautiful statue-menhir in Tarn, although it is difficult to photograph decently.
