This is a 2.3 metre tall flint puddingstone menhir on a little peninsula nearby to the sailing club lake at the village of Cepoy, in the river Loing valley to the north of Montargis.

To find it, cross the river to the east side from the village, turn left in front of the chateau along rue de la Pierre aux Fées, and there it is.
