The Plateau des Gras, occupied in prehistoric times, has many dolmens dating mainly from the 3rd millennium BC. Although most of them have been destroyed over the centuries, the Plateau des Gras and the Labeaume scrubland still have some.

The Aven du Réméjadou constitutes an impressive opening on the Plateau des Gras onto a vast underground network, submerged almost over its entire length. Isolated in the middle of a forest of shaggy oaks in a ruiniform and chaotic environment of large blocks of limestone, the entrance is characterized by a deep gap. 26 meters high, the well opens directly onto an underground river that can be heard very clearly from the entrance. In heavy rains, the waters of the river sometimes rise up the well with a roar which can then be perceptible from afar. Given its characteristics, the exploration of this network where exposed sections are rare remains the almost exclusive domain of seasoned cave divers.

A beautiful view of the valley and Joyeuse.

On your right, you will see a path that you can take to see the Réméjadou sinkhole. Be careful because the sinkhole is deep and the surroundings can be slippery.

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.

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