Rock Outcrop in Namur
Various conflicting information linger about the Pierre Sainte-Agathe.
Here is what I collected end of May 2014 from a charming lady having lived all her live in the same village. She designated the stone unambiguously, says it is buried deeply and therefore has never budged an inch ; incidentally, she boasts a vigorous age of 82 years.
The coordinates given are read on Google Maps, where Pierre Sainte-Agathe is visible as a white dot.
Location : Trémouroux (Floreffe), Route de Robersart, next to n°90, one of the oldest house of the street.
Note : all the other "challengers"-stones are decorative blocks of stone, simply meant to adorn the front gardens of newly built houses -- a very nice custom in the region.
