Bonjour,
je vous signale une correction à effectuer :
ce magnifique rocher gravé est classé aux Monuments Historiques depuis 1990. Il y est décrit comme suit :
"Ensemble de gravures de la fin du Paléolithique supérieur. Outre les traits dits "parasites" et quelques motifs géométriques, présence d'un bestiaire composé de bouquetins, d'isards et d'oiseaux."
ET DONC,... il n'est en aucune façon un DOLMEN !!!

Cordialement
