TheCaptain visited on 7th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 In a field to the east of the Dolmens de Chagné can be found the But de Gargantua. This seems to be two menhirs, one a large grey slab about 2.5 metres tall and the other a bit smaller. I wonder if it is the remains of what was once a dolmen. I couldn't get a close look as the stones are in a field of horses, but they are easily visible from the roadside.
