Lost in the woods above Bessèges, can be found the dolmen of Bessèges, which is in very good condition.
Access is a little difficult. It features in a National Park's walk "La Ronc Rouge" which starts in Bessèges and is a 13 km circular route. The Dolmen is the only ancient site on the route but it also takes in an old mine, a chapel, a bell, caves and a capitale (old shepherds' shelter)
