Bois Couturier Allée couverte
Bois Couturier Allée couverte submitted by greywether : A truly superb site which deserves to be better known. Restored and still sitting in its mound, the exceptional feature is the complete rebated porthole. Better still, the porthole "stopper" survives and is on display at the local museum. To add to the interest, there is "breast and necklace" art on the two outer portals, although now faint. Fantastic! (Vote or comment on this photo)
Trench cut Allée couverte near the village of Guiry-en-Vexin which boasts an excellent entry portal with circular hole cut in the stone, which has its own door, now to be seen in the local museum.
