Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Bretagne:Finistère (29)
"Two dolmens have been identified in the past in Northern hamlet Rigonou. Reportedly these dolmens remains inserted into the slope of a path constituted elements of a megalithic covered walkway. Other sources simply talk two small dolmens. Today, it is only in winter that stones are visible when the annual vegetation is absent. These dolmens are close to the sea, in the cove of Camaret-sur-Mer."
Rigonou, Châteaulin, Finistère, Brittany
