Log Text: The site is quite near the little village of Labro, maybe .5K on a straight line. It is closer to the field than to the rocky hilltop. A power line goes through the hillside and the site is 40 meters on the far side of the line. The door faces east and the west side facing Labro is covered with bushes. There are no clear paths, but many animal tracks.

Log Text: Despite being right next to the road (lightly traveled) and across the street from an open gravel pit (silent on the day of my visit) this dolmen has a tremendous ambiance and energy.

Grotte de Pech-Merle

Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter

Visited: Would like to visit
Grotte de Pech-Merle submitted by thecaptain on 14th Nov 2008. The entrance area to this fantastic cave, which I would thoroughly encourage anybody to visit.
One of the oak trees here (with the white paint) has one of its roots hanging down into the cave, which can be seen looking like a hairy stalactite.

Peyrefit Dolmen

Visited: Yes on 15th Nov 2014. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Peyrefit dolmen submitted by ocdolmen on 1st Jul 2007. Peyrefit's dolmen is, for me, one of the most beautiful dolmens of the department of the Lot.
Most impressive is the very important thickness of the table in limestone, 1 metre which is in fact the thickest in the region of Quercy.
A big cup is engraved on the top of the capstone.
In the same area, we can also see the very beautiful dolmen of Artillou.

Dolmen de Pech-Lapeyre
Date Added: 1st Nov 2014
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Midi:Lot (46))
Visited: Would like to visit
Dolmen de Pech-Lapeyre submitted by greywether on 4th Jul 2005. This is a photo of a dolmen known in the Lot Inventory as Lac d'Auris. It was signposted from the centre of Limogne-en-Quercy but, I think, simply as "Dolmen". Anyway, the notable thing about Lac d'Auris is the thickness of the capstone - almost 1m and weighing 17 tons. Apparently there is a quarry 300m away with a hole the size of the capstone.

Belinac Menhir

Belinac Menhir submitted by MichelDRN on 20th Oct 2005. I suggest to rename Livernon Menhir as Belinac Menhir, its local name.
From Livernon (Lot, 46), heading SE towards the road joining Cahors and Figeac towns, a sign indicates Belinac Menhir on the right side. 600 meters and this outstanding monolith appears.
It is 3.50 meters high, 0.40 m wide, and large from 1.50m (base), to 1.90 m (middle) and 1.00m (top).

La Pierre Martine submitted by greywether on 4th Jul 2005. In an area where all the dolmens tend to look the same, this one does have a USP in that it is the largest dolmen in Lot. 7.1x2.3m capstone weighing 20 tons. Shame about the concrete supports at each end of it.
