    The dolmen of La Planche-à-Puare is one of the first testimonies of the long history of the island of Yeu.



    With a funerary vocation, the Dolmen would have housed several remains during the Neolithic period (period when the island was still attached to the mainland). It was built using several orthogneiss menhirs on which lichen has taken up residence.



    Following archaeological research carried out by Augustin Auge in 1883, the dolmen was classified as a historical monument in 1889. Thus, it is forbidden to pass under the rocks, in order to preserve the heritage.
