Re: Salverguettes statue-menhir 2 or Fourendouïre by lafemmedepierre on Tuesday, 06 October 2020

Hello Captain, hope you do well by these times ?

Well, I'd liked to give you some more information about the second statue-menhir found on the territory of Cambon-et-Salvergue's community.
It 's a male complete statue-menhir, so beautiful that it has been carried down to the Musée du Biterrois, at Béziers. It is called Statue-Menhir de Fourmendouïre (or Foumendouyre) because it has been found in a forest, in a small valley called "Combe du Devès", 2 km north-west to the hamlet of Fourmendouïre.

Regards,

The second statue-menhir that was actually found in this community of Cambon et Salvergues is nowadays exposed in the Museum called MUSEE DU BITERROIS, in Béziers. Maybe that's what you wanted to know...

Hello dear Captain, how are you ?

I'd liked tosuggest you once more that you can delete this second file :

as far as I know, there was only one Statue-Menhir that was ever found in this place.

I've heard that the Museum of Saint-Pons-de-Thomières owns eather the original or a copy (moulage) of that statue...

Hello,

Well, one file should be sufficient for one statue-menhir, I suppose ?
Sorry I can't help you for choosing the coordinates, butthere's only a distance of 172m between them ...

Cordially,
