Dolmen dit Le Lit de Saint-Jean is the name of an old dolmen located in Guimaëc, in the Côtes-d'Armor department, in Brittany. It is also called "Jean's bed" or "Spinner's bed". In the past, many pilgrims, on the way to the pardon of Saint-Jean-du-Doigt, came to rub their backs against the frontal stone, reputed to prevent rheumatism

This rural path goes to the Dolmen known as Le Lit de Saint-Jean, a small covered alley located 300 m from the rue à Guimaëc. The old dolmen is also called “Bed of the Spinner”. In the past, pilgrims, on the Saint-Jean-du-Doigt pardon road, came in large numbers to rub their backs against the front stone, reputed to prevent rheumatism. A legend also mentions a spinner, a local witch, capable of throwing her spindle very far: if she threw her spindle to the right, it would fall at Primel's point; if she threw it to the left, it would fall to the rock of Roc’h Hellaz.
Coordinates: 48.681866, -3.717765
To get there: at 1.7 Guimaraëc on the road to Beg Ar Fry, take the first road on the left after the chapel of Christ. Continue for about 300 meters on the dirt road.

We let the signpost lure us onto the dirt road and came to this interesting dolmen. The EV4 would pass on the road below. It is well worth driving along this sunken road across the plateau, even if the wind can blow very hard.
