TheCaptain visited on 15th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Driving west along the D.14 road towards Le Salvetat, in a rush to get diesel and washing done, I saw a sign to menhir Col-de-la-Bole, so of course I just had to go and have a look. At the top of a steep track is the broken off top of a statue-menhir, only about 0.75 metres of it, with its back having had a bishops cross carved into it. I saw no carvings on the front, although supposedly there are some, but I was in a bit of a rush.
