TheCaptain visited on 2nd Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Near to the medieval village of Brancion, beside the D.14 road, can be found this nice menhir, which has a fine view to the west. It stands about 4 metres tall with a cross on the top in a field close to the turn off to Pierre-Levée farm, on a bad corner. It was raining horribly while I visited.
It stands about 4 metres tall with a cross on the top, in a field close to the turn off to Pierre-Levée farm, on a bad corner for parking and viewing.
