I have visited· I would like to visit

TheCaptain visited on 30th Apr 2005 Allée couverte down near a stream seen across a large field near Richebourg farmhouse. There were no signs and I couldn’t see how to get to it. The remains of what I saw looked quite long and made from large rounded brown stones.

Pierre Aigue, Richebourg submitted by TheCaptain : Pierre Aigue, Richebourg Mayenne. A nice looking allée couverte down near a stream seen across a large field. There were no signs and I couldn’t see how to get to it without crossing fences and fields. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Allée couverte down near a stream seen across a large field near Richebourg farmhouse near the village of Sainte-Gemmes-le-Robert in Mayenne.

There were no signs and I couldn’t see how to get to it. The remains of what I saw looked quite long, and made from large rounded brown stones.

And the names I have given to it are just names from nearby farms. The monument may well be known as something different.
