Cultural heritage

La Roche aux fées, megalithic site

Here is a journey to the land of legends with the mystery of this imposing Neolithic dolmen, the largest in France, 25 minutes from the house. An old practice wanted the lovers to go together to the new moon at the dolmen's bedside. Each in turn had to go around the dolmen, the boy clockwise and the girl counter clockwise. They each had to count the number of stones in the dolmen. If they found the same number, it was a sign of love and harmony... The site is accessible free of charge all year round.
