Disappeared standing stone in the commune of Talizat, Cantal.

From lafemmedepierre:
There is a record for a stone in the community of Talizat, near the hamlet of Pierrefiche, with name of Menhir de Saint-Menais. It was described as carrying a statue of the Saint.

It was already disapeared in 1973, when the "Répertoire préliminaire à un inventaire des monuments mégalithiques du Cantal, de la Haute-Loire et du Puy-de-Dôme" (my source) was edited.

I would think that the legend presented by ocdolmen for La Pierre Plantade refers itself more probably to this second menhir. The fact that the name of the saint has changed is not unusual.
