Located in the Lozère department of France, the Cham des Bondons plateau is a fascinating archaeological site. With an area of about ten square kilometers, this plateau is home to more than 150 menhirs.
Cham des Bondons is named 'Cham' (plateau or causse) and 'des Bondons' after the nearby commune of Bondons. The plateau is a limestone plateau extending to the southwest of Mont Lozère, about ten kilometers from Florac.
