Re: Le Gros Caillou by Anonymous on Tuesday, 08 November 2011
je suis la personne ayant pris les photos que vous avez mis sur le site pour "le gros caillou" d'oisy le verger. je confirme qu'il s'agit bien de celui-ci.

par contre les photos mises pour le site d'écourt st quentin ont aussi été prises sur le site d'oisy ( ce sont deux communes très proches, le gros caillou se situe en fait entre elles deux)

petite précision supplémentaire, vous notez "pierre havattes" en fait il s'agit de la "pierre chavatte" à Hamel

cordialement

    Merci beacoup svh, les photos son tres bon.

    I think this message is from the person whose Flickr images appear above.
    google Translates it as :-

    "I am the person who took the pictures you put on the site for the "big stone" Oisy of the orchard. I confirm that it is the latter.

    against by the photos taken for the site to shorten St Quentin were also taken at the site of Oisy (these are two very common near the big rock is in fact between them)

    little extra precision, you note "havattes stone" in fact it is the "stone Chavatte" to Hamel

    cordially
    SVH

      what a terrible translation Mr Google ! I think it should read a bit more like:

      "I am the person who took the pictures on the site for the "Le Gros Caillou" at Oisy le Verger. I confirm that they are that.

      However the photos for the site "Ecourt St Quentin" were also taken at the site of Oisy (the two communities are very close, and "Le Gros Caillou is in fact between them)

      A little extra correction, you have a site "La Pierre Havattes" in reality it is “la Pierre Chavatte" at Hamel."


      I will correct the Hamel site
