    Particularly well-preserved dolmen (burial ground of the ancient megalithic culture of stone slabs), a few meters from the hiking trail, with explanatory sign.

      This dolmen is built on the hill overlooking the Chassezac, the river. It owes its name to the proximity of a small chapel and its Calvary. Four monumental slabs in local stone remain today. The entrance faces south and east, like many dolmens in Bas-Vivarais. Listed as a historic monument in 1889, it is a representative monument of the dolmens of the Ardèche, by its architecture and history. Unfortunately, weakened by the looting of which it was the object, we are not sure of its original appearance, nor of its precise dating. This dolmen is in fact only an internal part of a tumulus of about thirty identified dolmens, prehistoric collective graves dated between 5000 and 4000 years before JC.
