Dolmen de la Pierre Levée

In a quiet corner of rural France, the Dolmen de la Pierre Levée stands as a remnant of a distant age. Built over 5,000 years ago, it is one of the last surviving dolmens from the Neolithic era, a time when stone was put to use for more than just shelter. Constructed from four granite slabs, the Dolmen de la Pierre Levée leans slightly, a testament to the tales that linger around it.

While the Mérimée, a French national resource, authoritatively states this dolmen as an architectural monument, local legend suggests an alternate story, claiming it was built by three bergères who each carried a single stone, causing the structure to tilt. The chamber itself, at least 2.15 meters long and 1.50 meters wide, was undoubtedly a burial site. The Dolmen de la Pierre Levée awaits those who wish to delve into the past and decipher the riddles that lie within the stones.
