I have visited· I would like to visit
TheCaptain couldn't find on 9th Aug 2005 This polissoir is signposted up a trackway from the D.917 roadside to the southwest of Vendome. The trouble is, there are no more signs to be found once away from the road, and the track splits into three ways. A railway cuts the straight on, obvious path, and I could find no stone up there. The other ways all split again and again, and even after crossing under the railway, there is no obvious way. Just how the heck are we meant to find this stone ???
Since my visit, and with the help of geoportail and its 1:25,000 ign maps, I have now been able to identify where this polissoir is, and it is a fair bit to the south of the railway. Obviously, in order to find it, the ign 1:25,000 maps are needed, as the signposts are hopeless. So all I needed was all 1200 1:25,000 maps !!!!! Or geoportail up and running back then. Its odd. The village map in Fréteval say that there are megalithic walks in Marcilly-en-Beauce, but nothing about its own dolmens. The sign at Marcilly-en-Beauce on the other hand, has nothing about itself, yet says that there are dolmens to be seen in Fréteval. Its enough to make me want to give up.
