Has anyone actually ever seen this menhir??? We have now been to look at least 6 times! Even enlisting the aid of the lady at the Mairie in La Landes Chasles (as Cuon claimed no knowledge and said it wasn't in their commune) and a local farmer - who said it was in Cuon (but actually told us it was a little higher up the hill and so we looked there as well) - still nothing! HELP!

    I see it's marked on the IGN map a little to the west of the track, about 300m from the road. I have updated the coordinates.
