Access: Not easy, unless you’re at least reasonably fit. Maybe 1km or slightly more from the nearest parking place which is impossible to describe but to the SW! The path starts off quite steep as a wide-ish gravel track, which becomes a track through the woods. It continues to have steep bits & also slightly rocky bits. May also be muddy in wet weather.

Beautiful! Seemingly fairly complete but restored in its rocky cairn. Well worth the walk (which I enjoyed – but I like walking!)
After a difficult 20 to 30 minute walk (perhaps 1 km long over rough ground, uphill through woodland) we reached Le grand dolmen de la bergerie de panissiere.
It’s essentially a passage cairn with a dolmen-like structure at its heart, surrounded by about 5ms diameter of cairny rubble with intriguing standing stones pointing out of its outer edge. It’s clear it’s been restored but rather well we felt. We sat and got our breath back before pushing on.
