Pierre Levée (Collias) submitted by ocdolmen on 7th Aug 2006. "La Pierre Plantée" is now standing up in a private property in the village of Collias.
The menhir was broken in two parts and condemned to be totally destroyed by excavators.
A man in the village of Collias has chosen to bring it to his home and to repair it. This stone is now in its garden. Bravo !!!

Statue menhir de La Pomarède
Trip No.25 Entry No.23 Date Added: 6th Dec 2018
Site Type: Sculptured Stone

Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2006. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Statue menhir de La Pomarède submitted by thecaptain on 12th Mar 2009. Right outside the tourist office at Fraisse-sur-Agout, next to a wall behind a big tree display thing, is the top 90 cm of this statue menhir which must have once been 2 metres tall.
It is very difficult to make out any markings, with it being in dark shadow and very moss covered.

Statue menhir de Picarel
Trip No.25 Entry No.24 Date Added: 6th Dec 2018
Site Type: Sculptured Stone

Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2006. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Statue menhir de Picarel submitted by thecaptain on 1st Mar 2009. This finely shaped statue-menhir stands over 2 metres tall, and looks out down the valley to the southwest.
The only obvious markings and carvings on the stone are relatively modern, a deep cut halfway up, and some circles in the upper part. No doubt someone trying to make millstones in the fairly recent past.

Coste-Rouge Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 7th Oct 2005. Coste-Rouge Dolmen on a sunny, but cold and windy afternoon in September.
Unfortunately, to see this dolmen nowadays, the full guided tour of the abbey has to be taken - there are no longer any open visits round the grounds because it has been made into an animal park.
But its worth it.
