TheCaptain couldn't find on 19th May 2005 Just off the main road from Perigueux to Les-Eyzies at the junction of the D32 west to Mauzens-et-Miremont is a little picnic and parking area. If you then follow this road west under the splendid railway viaduct after a few hundred metres pass the lavoir then take the little lane up to the left. Somewhere several hundred metres up the steep slope into these woods can be found the Pierre des Justices polissoir stone. I was told by locals that unless you know exactly where to look then you will not find it. I had a quick look round and decided that there are better things to do than conduct a full search of a large steep overgrown wood.

C'est un polissoir fixe en grès clair, classé Monument historique, d'environ 1m80 de long sur 0.80m de haut, présentant les rainures caractéristiques des polissoirs et des surfaces lisses reconnaissables au toucher.
Sur le net, on trouve des articles illustrés le concernant.
La propriétaire demande à ce qu'il ne soit pas signalé, pas photographié, pour sa tranquillité et la préservation de la propriété privée.
