Amuré Allée couverte
Amuré Allée couverte submitted by Rubis : The two capstones remaining from this passage grave, are now in the cemetery. They have been moved from the original place. Site in Poitou:Deux-Sèvres (79) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
Remains of Allee Couverte to be found in the modern cemetery, near the village of Amuré.

From Rubis.
Legend says that young ladies that touch the stones, will be pregnant soon!

Other legends say that several times, people tried to move them with some bullocks. But none moved. A builder tried to put them in the walls of the church, but couldn't!
