I have visited· I would like to visit

alchemille visited on 7th Jun 2015 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 This menhir is found by the road D211 Riom Thuret. I found the stones around the cross quite interesting. I dont know whether there is a connection between the small stones round the cross and the menhir. I ll find out about it.
