TheCaptain couldn't find on 9th Aug 2005 I could find no trace of this despite spending a lot of time looking. It should be somewhere beside the river Loir south of Cloyes near to Le Breuil farm, but a longish way from any road. All the land in this region is either flooded for lakes, planted with tall sweetcorn, or private, and I could find no dolmen. Its a very pleasant spot though.
