aolson visited on 19th Jul 2020 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 5 Not much to see - we had to walk back and forth along the road for a while to try to determine which pile of rocks was the most likely to be the remains of a megalithic site. This one is located just inside a pasture.

Pierres longues, phallus dressés vers les étoiles, pénétrant la Terre-mère. Points de repères, temples astronomiques, nécropoles, poteaux indicateurs, les menhirs n'ont pas fini de nous féconder.
J'ai rendez-vous ce soir.
