It's amazing what can be on your doorstep that just seems to pass you by...
Planning for the June/July Megalith tour down here with Neil McDonald, I went a little way towards the Pyrenees to visit the Menhir de Counozouls. This is a delightful spot. The menhir is reputedly the largest in southern France, but it's the location that makes it special. It's due north to the low dip between the mountains and there are large stones scattered all around it in the woods. This must have been quite a site (and quite a sight) back in the day.
A spot for a picnic I reckon...
