Following a pleasant lunch at Carentan, on the way up to Cherbourg for the evening ferry, decided to have another look for this stone, as it has been some while since I was last there.
Getting to Appeville can be a bit tortuous, and once there, the local roads and lanes even harder to follow, but once at the centre by the old church, the village has several colour coded cycling and walking routes with places of interest marked. Unlike on my last visit, a map on the noticeboard show a couple of these routes to pass by the Pierre Lee, which is marked, with a couple of sentences about what may or may not have been found there. Great I thought, so tried to follow one of these routes in the car, which although passable, there was very little place to park and have a proper look round, and with typical Normandy bocage (ditches and hedgerows) made seeing into the fields impossible from the car.
Obviously, this one needs a couple of hours proper investigation by walking or cycling, and preferably with some local knowledge to find. I have however, been able to update the position a bit on the maps, and it is not in the high security fenced off horses fields by the chateau where I previously thought it to be, so one day perhaps this stone will reveal itself to the world!
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
