It is called _Les Petites Pierres Couvertes_, and is similar in construction to the large one, but not a quarter its size.

Its position is most picturesque, and the landscape spread out before its rugged arch exquisite.

It is covered in, and its walls are firm and close; though, from its exposed situation, one would expect that it must long ago have fallen.

Remains of large stones lie around, partly covered with vegetation, and many, no doubt, are embedded in the earth.

Perhaps the two temples communicated once on a time, and covered the whole space between; where probably waved a gigantic forest.
The wind had risen violently as we sat, in the sun, beside the _Petites Pierres_, and our walk back to Saumur promised us a great deal of dust, for we saw it eddying in the valleys beneath, like wreaths of mist.
