Description
La Pierre Plantée de Lussan (la Peyro Plantado) is the tallest menhir in Gard "département" with 5.60 metres.
This standing-stone is also called "la Lèque" (in occitan "la Leca"). The occitan language has kept old celt words in its vocabulary as "leca" (ie "the stone") which comes from gaulish "lech" (as in "cromlech")
