johnstone visited on 10th Sep 2013 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3

TheCaptain saw from a distance on 6th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Access: 2 This is a great big menhir in a field of barley, and there was no way I was going to get to it. I would estimate it to be 4 to 5 metres tall and it is nicely rounded. My gps position is to the field gate from where it can be seen.

La Garnerie menhir
La Garnerie menhir submitted by Rubis : This menhir is a listed building since 1889. It is five meters high. To find it, you must take the road D130, towards Moutiers les Mauxfaits. Then on the right you must find a sign "Beauséjour". Leaving this hamlet, you must turn to the right at "La Garnerie". La Garnerie is the name of a farm. (Vote or comment on this photo)
