Log Text: It is right on the edge of a small wood surrounded by vines. You either have to approach through a vineyard from the North of the stone or along tracks from the South between vineyards. It is not a very big stone but it is covered on the wood side with sets of parallel lines. Rock Art?

Dolmen dit de la Madeleine submitted by hewpop on 25th Sep 2007. Sainte-Madeleine dolmen aka. Pierre Madeleine.
Actually on the southern-most tip of an island in the river La Vienne, at Saint-Germaine-de-Confolens, not the town of Confolens downstream.
View from the SW.

Log Text: It would be truer to say we tried to visit this site. We did find someone who knew of its existence but the access is over a private bridge to the island. A boat might be useful. Not possible to get close enough on either side of the river to take a picture.

I had no idea what this is meant to be and indeed no idea whether this is the proper megalithic remains! Later I find out that this is indeed the remains of a megalithic burial chamber (dolmen a bit incorrect perhaps). And that there is also a menhir nearby.

Pierre Plantée (Lisle) submitted by theCaptain on 17th Jan 2011. As I was driving south along the D78 road coming into Lisle, I saw a sign saying Pierre Plantée and there was a stone about a metre high stood just by the roadside.
I cant be sure whether this is the actual Pierre Plantée referred to or indeed whether it is ancient but it isn’t new !

Peyrefitte
Date Added: 1st Oct 2018
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Aquitaine:Gironde (33))
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2018
Peyrefitte submitted by thecaptain on 15th Jan 2006. Large menhir near to the Dordogne river in the commune of St-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens in Gironde.
This is said to be the largest standing stone in southwest France, (but not the tallest) and it is 5.2 metres tall, 3 metres wide and less than a metre thick, with the bottom part of it chipped away to make the distinctive shape.
