Ancient Village or Settlement in Auvergne:Cantal (15)

Prehistoric site along the highway A75 (La Méridienne) within the rest- and parking place “Aire de Chalet”. The foot-path on top of the hill shows information panels, a menhir and a tumulus.

For the menhir at that spot watch this:

Chassagne menhir (Megalithic portal)

The very ruined tumulus can be found a little bit further at
N 45.27371 E 3.21134
