rrmoser visited on 9th Nov 2014 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 4 This standing stone seemed in much better shape and was far more impressive than Coulet Menhir 2. they stand very close to one another and a footpath leads the way. If you look closely at the google image on the website you can see it from Coulet 1.

TheCaptain visited on 18th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This menhir is to be found out in the land to the left of the road, at the same place as the Cisternette menhir. It is over 3 metres tall, and looks to have lost its top. Its another nicely shaped slab, flat on one face, curved on the other, and only 40 cm thick.
