TheCaptain couldn't find on 7th Sep 2005 There is a stone at the top of the Col de Soulor, now used as a signpost and footpath marker, but I doubt it is the menhir. Nothing else obvious was seen while I was up here, but the Col was in the clouds and the visibility was severely lacking. At a later point in time, I found out that apparently the stone is down the road to the left (North) of the Col.

Menhir not far from the Col du Soulor, visible from the road.
