**Menhir des Verdons** submitted by TheCaptain : Is this an ancient menhir which has been re-erected, or a more modern stone ? I don't know. I can find nothing out about it. But here it stands, proudly at the Verdons lift complex, in the middle of the Courchevel ski area. The stone itself stands about 2.5 metres tall, and certainly looks the part. I'm guessing a re-erection. (Vote or comment on this photo)
