Megalithic stones to the south of the village of Pont Aven.
Some words from minteddy:
The Tombeaux des Geants are on the south east side of Pont Aven. There are several slabs with the rock shaped to produce low domes on the slab. They look as though the natural outcropping rock has been carved to produce a dome shape and a shallow basin rather than the capstones of a large dolmen.
