I have visited· I would like to visit
TheCaptain couldn't find on 23rd Apr 2005 Not marked on my ign map and finding no map within the village I gave up without really trying to find the supposed menhir near here. I believe it is in the grounds of the local chateau and wasn’t going to spend a lot of time being unable to find it.
The stone is in a private wood (le Bois de l'Obélisque), and permission must be got from the owner before attempting a visit.
