Statue menhir de La Pomarède
Trip No.25 Entry No.23 Date Added: 6th Dec 2018
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: France (Languedoc:Hérault (34))
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2006. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Statue menhir de La Pomarède submitted by thecaptain on 12th Mar 2009. Right outside the tourist office at Fraisse-sur-Agout, next to a wall behind a big tree display thing, is the top 90 cm of this statue menhir which must have once been 2 metres tall.
It is very difficult to make out any markings, with it being in dark shadow and very moss covered.

Statue menhir de Picarel
Trip No.25 Entry No.24 Date Added: 6th Dec 2018
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: France (Languedoc:Hérault (34))
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2006. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Statue menhir de Picarel submitted by thecaptain on 1st Mar 2009. This finely shaped statue-menhir stands over 2 metres tall, and looks out down the valley to the southwest.
The only obvious markings and carvings on the stone are relatively modern, a deep cut halfway up, and some circles in the upper part. No doubt someone trying to make millstones in the fairly recent past.
