TheCaptain visited on 23rd Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This is a pleasant enough menhir in a field beside the road on the western slopes of the hill upon which the Chapelle St Michel is built. It's approaching three metres in height, nearly as wide at the base, and made of the local quarzite stone, which is pointed at the top. There is another block of stone beside it which is the top which was broken off after a lightning strike. With a name like this, there should be legends and stories, but I dont know of any.
