Menhir de la Croix-Grosse
Trip No.41 Entry No.23 Date Added: 7th Apr 2020
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Auvergne:Cantal (15))
Visited: Yes on 18th Jul 1999. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Menhir de la Croix-Grosse submitted by thecaptain on 31st Oct 2008. This really is a lovely monument, the basalt column is perfectly upright, and always has been, its never been restored.
Apparently the column must have been brought here from several kilometres away, so its obviously at a once very special place.
