Peyro-Lebado, Prehistoric standing stone in Lacaune, France
The granite menhir stands 4.50 meters tall with a width of 1.84 meters and weighs approximately 9.3 tons near the RD 622 road.
The monument received official protection status in 1883 after concerns about its stability emerged in 1825, following an excavation attempt that caused its tilting.
The stone structure features anthropomorphic elements including facial characteristics, arms, legs, and feet, representing ancient artistic expressions of prehistoric communities.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and contains information panels explaining the historical context and significance of the standing stone.
The granite block used for this menhir required transportation across three kilometers of difficult terrain, as the local bedrock consists entirely of schist.
