Log Text: The "Druids' Stone" ("La Pierre des Druids") typically named by local legend, is in fact a mostly standing dolmen at Puy Ponteu (Ponteu summit) due south of Treignac. It is aligned along the summer solstice meridian with a half-panoramic view to other nearby summits. The hiking trail is well-marked from Treignac, where a trail map is available from the Tourist Information Center on the Place d' la Republic. There are also marked trails to the summit from Allogne (to the east) and La Peuch (southwest). Access from Affieux itself is also possible, but more difficult.
The location source linked below is incorrect: that is a different site. The Panorama image linked below is correct, but out-of-date: since then, the tourism board has placed explanatory placards and scouts have cleaned up the site and cleared the field of view visible from the dolmen.
