Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Poitou:Charente-Maritime (17)
Legend says, that each year on the night of December the 25th, the capstone of this dolmen "jumps".
The locality kept the name of La Pierre qui saute and the ground is really stony.
An inhabitant of Chermignac told me that in the twenties, yet her grandfather ploughed the ground and there was nothing anymore.
For a long time the dolmen served a boundary stone between the two villages Chermignac and Thénac.
