thereddragon visited on 20th May 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 My favourite in Normandy.
That processional path looks very interesting!
TheCaptain couldn't find on 24th Apr 2005 This T shaped gallery grave is the only one of this kind surviving in Normandy and is to be found in a zoo park near to the village. However on the day of my visit this park was well and truly shut and looked like it hadn’t been open in many years and was becoming very decrepit. No chance of getting in to see the monument.
Later note. Having seen the 1:25000 ign map of the area the dolmen is marked beside the little lane which runs down to the lakes along the western edge of the park. In fact its probably almost exactly where I stopped and had a look around to see if I could spot anything. If I am in the area again I will know where to look.

The park is being restored by volunteers and has occasional open days. More at the park's web site.
