Remains of Allee Couverte to be found in the modern cemetery, near the village of Amuré.
From Rubis.
Legend says that young ladies that touch the stones, will be pregnant soon!
Other legends say that several times, people tried to move them with some bullocks. But none moved. A builder tried to put them in the walls of the church, but couldn't!
