TheCaptain visited on 8th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Just to the south of the La Brosse chateau and farm can be found the Palet de Gargantua dolmen, sitting right at the D.357 roadside. It has a lovely capstone sitting at a jaunty angle partly on the ground, and partly on a couple of support stones. It is sort of trapezoidal shaped, about 4m by 4m. I found it difficult to make out any semblance of structure underneath, as most of the support stones have all collapsed.
