TheCaptain visited on 13th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Well signposted from the village of Saint-Aubin-Des-Châteaux, these lead to a parking area beside the sports centre, from where the menhir is a walk of a few hundred metres. It's a very big stone, 3.5 metres tall, 3 metres wide and over a metre thick, and it lives in a field beside the trackway. There are a couple of intriguing round holes/niches within it, but I don't know whether these are natural or have been cut.
