It’s a road on my map and it starts off as a road with a “circuit des dolmens” sign so of course I followed it. It was very steep to start and lots of hairpin bends so was using first and secod gear only. It has to get better I thought. It levelled out a bit but then the tarmac disappeared. And the trees closed in. And the gravel surface gave way to bare rock and grass and puddles. Nowhere to turn round and go back so thought I’d continue past a bemused looking lady outside her house but still following the “Circuit des Dolmens” signs but in reverse. Of course its raining and misty up here in the clouds.
Ah a sign to “Les Trois Pierres”. This is a nice dolmen in a woodland setting lots of little oak trees growing in the rough limestone rock. I was by now hoping for three ! Its about 4 metres long by 1.5 m wide and high with a single capstone remaining in place. The chamber was obviously much longer once and there are traces of its mound.
