TheCaptain visited on 15th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Traveling along the D.14 road west from Fraisse-sur-Agout towards Le Salvetat, take the right turn after a couple of kilometres towards Cambayssy. The menhir is signposted (Le Pioch), and is a kilometre or so up a steep winding lane.
In some woods, this gorgeous statue-menhir can be found beside the lane, and is about 1.3 metres tall, and beautifully shaped. And at last, I have found a statue-menhir where some of his features can be clearly seen. Belt, legs, shoulder strap "objet" and knife, and his arms coming down diagonally from his shoulders. There are maybe a couple of eyes, but I cant see much of a head though.
