Hello, it's me again !

According to the site of the department, "Haute-Saone.com, it seems there are two stones in the community of Chagey :

"Vous pourrez en outre y découvrir deux pierres étonnantes : la Pierre de Saint-Desle (parfois appelée à tort "menhir"), une borne qui délimitait autrefois la Principauté de Lure, et la Pierre des Gaulois, peut-être un bloc mégalithique utilisé comme pierre de sacrifice. (...)"

The stone presented on the site "Lieux Insolites" as the menhir of Chagey, sits near to the oratoire of Notre-Dame de Pagey, and looks very much like a "borne" with its cross engraved on it. I bet it is the so-called Pierre de Desle.

As far, I didn't find any information about the other stone, the Pierre des Gaulois...

I suppose it could be a good idea to notify these two stones as different ones... What do you say ?
