Taken Summer 1996: Ile Grande on a scorching hot day. A memorable visit (although I couldn’t remember the name of the site).

Access: Easy to find from the map on TMA, and signposted once you get fairly close. There’s a layby right next to it & it’s only a few paces across grass.

Lovely, lovely, lovely – especially in the sun today instead of the pissing rain a few years ago!
The site seems to have been tidied up a bit & a shrub/tree that had been growing through the east-side seems to have been removed (though I only noticed this when I saw the photos from last time).
Nice glimpses of the sea through the trees.
Over on the touristy island of Ile Grande, which you can drive over a causeway to, is this allée couverte which is rather pleasant being neither small or big, long nor short. Just yer average local allée couverte for local people. With it teeming with rain and completely free of any tourists, the best place to be was inside it. Me, allée couvertes, rats, drainpipes.
