TheCaptain visited on 19th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 This fine chap stands proudly at the junction of the roads D.158 and D.158a from Blandas to Le Landre and Quintanelles, just a couple of hundred metres from its neighbour, the menhir de Combes. It is very similar in both size and shape, 3 metres tall, except this one is not so superbly weathered. I am not sure whether it is in its original place here at the road junction or not.

This fine chap stands proudly at the junction of the roads D.158 and D.158a from Blandas to Le Landre and Quintanelles, just a couple of hundred metres from its neighbour, the menhir de Combes.

It is very similar in both size and shape, about 3 metres tall, except this one is not so superbly weathered.

I am not sure whether it is in its original place here at the road junction or not.
