View of the Loire

Highlight • River

The Loire is the longest river in France. With a length of 1,012 kilometres (629 mi), it drains an area of 117,054 km2 (45,195 sq mi), or more than a fifth of France's land area, and is the 171st longest river in the world.

It rises in the highlands of the southeastern quarter of the Massif Central in the Cévennes range (in the department of Ardèche) at 1,350 m (4,430 ft) near Mont Gerbier de Jonc; it flows north for over 1,000 km (620 mi) through Nevers to Orléans, then west through Tours and Nantes until it reaches the Bay of Biscay (Atlantic Ocean) at St Nazaire. Its main tributaries include the rivers Nièvre, Maine and the Erdre on its right bank, and the rivers Allier, Cher, Indre, Vienne, and the Sèvre Nantaise to the left bank.

La Madeleine Dolmen

Highlight • Natural

Built with slab sandstone slabs during the Neolithic period , this imposing building covers an area of nearly 80 m². The average height under the slab is 2.70m.

Presumably of the Angevin type, it lost its entry trilithe, on the east side, following its use as handcarts in the XIXth century.
The vestiges of a doorway to the west and a bread oven in the deep chamber also testify to the re-use of this monument as an annex to the neighboring farm.

Excavations carried out in 1940 made it possible to find numerous human bones and flints, which seems to indicate its use as a collective tomb.

The site has been classified since 1930.

A nice route where the speech support together with the black VTT route indication in the fields provide the right mix to follow the route properly. In the village it continues to be a puzzle. Enjoy again!!
