Pierres dit Palais du Diable submitted by TheCaptain on 9th May 2005. Le Palais au Diable, or Pierres Jumelles, Mayenne.
Perhaps the whole thing is one giant burial mound, which it looks more like as seen here from the north.
It is all covered with trees with lots of birds singing, and a woodpecker pecking away with its loud ratatatatattatt.

Log Text: This site is local to me, I visited today and though the area is quite small the only indication of a site I could find was a small group of stones on a fairly straight line near a small natural pond. ( hence the name I assume)

Log Text: I visited today and was impressed with this singular menhir in a small field approximately 2km from the village of Bazouges.
It stands well over 5 meters in height and has various different lines and markings on its surface. I believe from local research that it was originally a polishing stone that was raised horizontally in the 1900s.
Even on a cold spring morning it is an imposing stone in a good setting.

Log Text: I finally secured access to the site today, thanks to the local farmer. The site is in a remote area not signposted and full of young bullocks.
The stone itself is on a steep hillside and appears to have been broken many years ago and I suspect a large amount is still buried beneath the ground.
I have tried to gain access for a few years, not for the faint hearted.

Log Text: I cycled to the site today, and what's left of the Dolmen is propped up against the side of the church in the centre of the village.
The are only 2 stones, what looks like the topstone and one other.
They are a rich brown colour fairly rare for thus area which has a lot of granite.
