Standing Stone (Menhir) in Auvergne:Haute-Loire (43)
The menhir stands at the peak of Chièze, a secondary peak of Mont Lizieux. The nearest village, down the hillside just a few hundred meters south, is a hamlet, Montbusat. The site offers a spectacular view of the surrounding area, east toward Mazet and Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, and south toward Mont-Mézenc. It's 5 minutes by car to the Dolmen at Les Pennes. There is one picture of it on Google Earth.
