TheCaptain visited on 12th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Right outside the front of the chateau, in the town square, can be found this nice polissoir stone, which was found in the forests to the east of the town, and is now proudly on display. The stone itself is a 2.5m by 1.5 m lump, and on the top surface are two large grooves, and many flat polishing surfaces. In fact, pretty much the whole stone is polished smooth. Excellent !
