Truitosse visited on 24th Oct 2021 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 1 Hard to find, you need to go to the nearest village Nogent-le-Bernard and then have to walk on a dirt road in some crops, but it is worth the search, as the little forest where stands the Menhir is magnificent, it really looks like a small sacred grove, isolated from the modern world and where rituals were made here thousands of years ago, as there is a lot of stones next to the Menhir, which look really like small dolmens.
