The dolmens of Pérignagol: stone tombs of mystery

Known collectively as the dolmens of Pérignagol, each tomb has been granted protection as a monument historique – one with an inscription date of 1994 for the dolmen of Pérignagol, and 1997 for the dolmen of Seveyrac. These are standing stones of astronomical age. The dolmen of Pérignagol, located at, is the more well-known of the two.
