Dolmen de Chez Vinaigre

This dolmen is quite difficult to find. You must go through the village towards the south and the village of Gurat, on the road D81. The capstone has the shape of a crescent moon.

On the left, at a very little crossroad, there are several little and white postsigns "Bernac", "Perrichoux", "Dolmen".

You must follow the tar road down to the hamlet of Perrichoux but it is very difficult to park so you must do it before the hamlet. The road becomes a dirt track then a little path for walkers. There is a little walk before seeing it.

The dolmen is 6000 years old and metallic objects were discovered during excavations.

As always i forgot to take a tape measure. In height, it less than 2 meters. The stone has a red colour.

This Dolmen has been set near Jonzac, it should be near Gurat and Ronsenac in our map. Thank you.
