Palaggiu Alignement submitted by nicoladidsbury on 3rd Sep 2004. Alignements de Palaggiu
The alignments stretch across the countyside like a battleground of soldiers. The site is close to the sea and there is a theory that the statues were some sort of magical deterrent to invaders.

Log Text: After our visit we were told by the tourist office that these stones cannot be visited because they are dangerous and on private land. Ignoring this advice seems like a good idea.

Menhir de Landre 1 submitted by thecaptain on 1st Aug 2008. This menhir stands up on top of its little hillock, about 70 metres to the side of the road.
It was all well fenced in when I visited, behind a little cropped field, so I couldn't get to the stone. It looks about 2.5 metres tall
