Puy Durand Menhir, just to the north of Avrillé in Vendée
They sell postcards of this menhir, and it looks massive. I found Puy Durand, and had a good look all around, but could not find any signs of the menhir. There are lots of private and fenced off areas here, so the menhir is probably inside one of these.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Position of site near to this position.
Note: Lovely set of stones on old postcards from Rubis

This huge menhir is in the park of the manor Puydurand and the only way to it is the entrance of this manor, on the D19. Of course, we can't go in without the permission of the owner.
The menhir is made of granit stone, has a circumference of 37 meters 50 and pounds 103.000 kilos.
