Saturday 8 September 2007 Second of a series of 2 (hopefully!) ‘multipanos’ – don’t think it’ll catch on! I do hope it gives some (vague) idea scale of the place. And remember, as with Cromlech de Lacam de Peyrarines, the vegetation means none of these show all the stones....

Cromlech de Lacam de la Rigalderie

Cromlech (France and Brittany)

Moth Nov 27, 2009

Access: Fairly easy – it’s pretty close to the road & unlike Cromlech de Lacam de Peyrarines, there are gates (I think!) It is on a bit of a slope, but it’s fairly gentle.

Visited Saturday 8 September 2007
I couldn’t believe it! Nearly as amazing & bonkers as Cromlech de Lacam de Peyrarines that I’d just come from! Another of the most spectacular sites I’ve ever been to and a bit more photogenic than Lacam de Peyrarines as it’s on a slope.

Like Peyrarines, it’s HUGE although quite a lot of stones are fallen or missing, especially on the east side (& the south I think, and others are hidden by bushes).

I (rightly in the end) figured the day could only go downhill from here, as I sat eating my lunch in the tiny bit of shade behind the largest stone to shelter from the blazing sun.
