TheCaptain visited on 16th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Found while building a road in 1969, this lovely statue-menhir has been saved and erected outside the tourist office in the town of Lacaune. Unfortunately, it is kept within a north facing glass case, so getting photographs is nigh on impossible in the strong sunlight, with reflections of everything obscuring things. It is about 1.4 metres tall, and the main features of a female statue-menhir can clearly be seen. She has legs, belt, arms, breasts, collar and face. Lovely.

It is about 1.4 metres tall, and the main features of a female statue-menhir can quite clearly be seen. She has legs, belt, arms, breasts, collar and face. Lovely.
