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.

Bonjour (fixed)

pour info, ce menhir est situé sur la commune d'Araules (43).

NB : Il semble que les coordonnées indiquées aboutissent un peu loin de là, tout de même... !
