Description
Deep in the Louron valley, on the western side of the Col de Peyresourde in the high Pyrenees, is the tiny village of Armenteule.
In this sleepy little Pyrenean village there is an old church. Inside the churchyard, just beside the back of the church, is a standing stone....

According to the French historic monuments database, the Saint Félix church is 12th century, and known for its ancient wall paintings, see here http://www.lelouron.com/patrimoine_eglise_armenteule.htm .
But it wouldnt surprise me if bits of it are more than a thousand years old originally - incorporated into the belltower is an engraved Gallo-Roman stele.
