Mont-Saint-Eloi

"Les Pierres Jumelles" (The Twin Stones)
This nice pair standing stones, made in sandstone, is standing on a little hill near Mont-Saint-Eloi.
One of the stones measures a height of 3 meters, the other is about 30 cm longer.
They are separated about 9 meter.

The age of these stones is controversial, possibly they where set up in the Middle Ages.

Amongst the stones a nice view on the abbey ruin in Saint-Eloi.
