Col-des-Saints statue-menhir
Col-des-Saints statue-menhir submitted by ocdolmen : Col des Saints statue-menhir, Tarn, France. Engravings of the inscribed menhir of the "Col des Saints" are a lot erased with the length of the centuries. Moreover, the cows which trott themselves in the mountain have the bad habits to rub against the stone to scrape itself. That does not arrange anything with the conservation engravings.

Statue Menhir in Tarn

Engravings of the inscribed menhir of the "Col des Saints" are much erased over the length of the centuries.

Moreover, the cows which trot themselves over the mountain have the bad habit of rubbing against the stone to scrape themselves. This does not aid the conservation of the engravings.

Now the original statue-menhir has benn moved to Centre d'Interprétation (tourist information office and museum) in Murat-sur-Vèbre, and brand new replica is standing in situ.
