Langourla menhir
Langourla menhir submitted by ben_blackshaw : La Coudre menhir - leans due to being disturbed by 19th century treasure seekers. (Vote or comment on this photo)
West of Langourla lies this beautiful 4m menhir of La Coudre. It is signposted at the roadside and is several hundred metres up a dirt track past a farm.

According to a nearby sign, the reason it leans to the side is that at the end of the 19th Century, "men dug to a depth of two metres in the hope of discovering treasure".

There appear to be other smaller stones of interest close by, but an electric fence (and bulls on my visit) may perturb one from closer inspection.
