Description Deep into the Louron valley, on the western side of the Col de Peyresourde in the high Pyrenees, is the ancient village of Aneran. Within the tiny churchyard beside the small and ancient church are several odds and ends of old stone, some carved into shapes and and with patterns on them. The church also has some fascinating carved stones built into its walls. The prehistoric stone here is the dark grey cylindrical block, stood beside the buttress at the rear corner of the church.

Wow what a beautiful church and village. What is the age of the village? I am sure that the local landcape lends a hand to some wonderful images..
