サン・レミー・ラ・ヴァレンヌの天然記念物・トップ4

Nice site. This can only be visited at walking pace. A small tour takes you back in time. Information panels accompany your visit. Enjoy the past. Historical context: In the 1st century BC, the influence of the Roman Empire extended to Gaul, where in Anjou the Andes and their leader Dumnacus were crushed by the Romans. In Gennes, there have been several excavations and have revealed, among other things, a large Gallo-Roman settlement and an amphitheatre. The Gennes amphitheatre could seat approximately 5,000 spectators. It was discovered in 1806 and excavated from 1862 onwards. The Gallo-Roman theatre-amphitheatre is classified as a historical monument.

On the former fairground, now Place du Général de Gaulle, you can admire this richly decorated water source. This showpiece was built in 1869 before the arrival of running water. You can see the mechanism through the door. The water flows through the mouth of a lion's head. A source of cooling for swollen feet!

beautiful paths around the pond

Beautiful Dolmen with picnic area

Why do you grow California poppy when all parts of the plant are poisonous? Was the poisonous plant of the year 2016 in Germany. As I didn't take a close-up, I added a picture with a caption from Wikipedia.

The Joreau pond is part of the Loire-Anjou-Touraine regional natural park. Created by monks for fish farming purposes in the 18th century, it now hosts many walks.

This covered stone is quite spectacular. The place is superb and can serve as a starting point to enjoy the surrounding paths. It is also an ideal place to spend a night in bivouac.

The monumental slab of this dolmen measures more than 7m with a thickness of 70 to 90 cm for an estimated weight of 70 tons. This monument would have served as a chapel in the 12th century.
