Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: France (Aquitaine:Dordogne (24))
Visited: Yes on 21st Nov 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 4
Abri du Cap-Blanc submitted by theCaptain on 6th Jan 2011. In this now walled up cliff shelter, there is a massive frieze of sculpted animals. It was discovered in about 1909, and still bears the scars of the picks used in the excavations, and some of the animals were destroyed. There are horses, bison and the main event, a 2 metre long horse and bison combined, the bison looking to the left, while the horse looks to the right.

Peyrefit Dolmen

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

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.

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.

Belinac Menhir

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Midi:Lot (46))
Visited: Yes on 12th Nov 2014. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
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).

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: This standing stone seemed in much better shape and was far more impressive than Coulet Menhir 2. they stand very close to one another and a footpath leads the way. If you look closely at the google image on the website you can see it from Coulet 1.
