It is necessary to walk through fields to find it.
Unfortunately I don't find any documentation about this menhir.
[Ed. I think that this stone is the same as La Pierre Plate (la Pochetiere),
http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=6333755
but with the area around it now being built up with a park left around the menhir. However, in case it is not, I will leave this sitepage here.]
