Log Text: I was a bit surprised that so many of the features in this relatively remote area were fenced off. It would have been nice to move around a bit more to get some better camera angles.

Log Text: It was a little hard to tell exactly where this alignment was, because the map on the information board is set 90 degrees off, and has no compass rose. When we did find it, all that can be seen today is the tips of the now mostly buried stones.

Log Text: A long walk, but all on a nice footpath. It is interesting how often the idea of the punished maidens / knights / etc turns up in regard to standing stones.

Log Text: This structure looks like it could have come right out of any of the village cemeteries around here, with its headstone and low walls. It was even sporting a bouquet at the foot of the grave. All that was missing was an grave candle.

Log Text: Fascinating to be able to see the oldest accessible cave paintings in Europe. Wonderfully helpful guide who knew our French was not up to snuff, so he would summarize often in English. The series of (inaccessible) caves along the Cure river are also interesting to visit with overviews of the archaeological history of each one and the important discoveries there.
