Well, this is a message for AlexHunger.

I'm not very happy to have to say it, but I'm quite sure that these two laying stones are not "La Grosse Borne", as he mentionned it !

Looking at the photographs and localisation given on MégalithesduMonde portal, I feel rather like giving them my choice...

I imagine you must have been ltrying hard to find it §

What do you say to me ?

Cordially,
