This nice covered dolmen is situated on the edge of the road between the city of Florac and the Causse Méjan (limestone plateau).
It has the reputation to protect against the whooping-cough if the sick person is lying on the capstone.

Coste-Rouge Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 7th Oct 2005. Coste-Rouge Dolmen on a sunny, but cold and windy afternoon in September.

Bruyère d'Usclas submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Oct 2007. The front does not have the oven door of nearby Coste-Rouge, but the entrance is to one side, which shows evidence of a carved and enlarged opening area.
The stones are fitted so well that almost no light gets in apart from through the entrance.
