Porz Guen dolmens submitted by thecaptain on 14th Jun 2006. Remains of two dolmens on the clifftop to the north of the Porz Guen beach on the Cote Sauvage of the Quiberon Peninsula.
The more inland is the most complete, with one capstone surviving on the entry couloir. The chamber would probably have been roofed with large corbelled capstones around it, many of which survive fallen neaby.

Log Text: At first I was wondering why so many people were on the path to visit the dolmen. As it turns out the beach was packed, but we were the only ones to hang around by the dolmens.

It is probably linked with the nearby allée couverte

Pierres Droites (Monteneuf) submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Jun 2007. The true extent of these stones was only discovered in the last 20 years or so after a forest fire, yet this set of aligned menhirs is probably one of the most important in France.

Log Text: Wonderful site, far better ambience than the Carnac alignments. The interpretive signs and reconstructions based on archaeological findings are very interesting.
