Visited: Yes on 23rd Jul 2001. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
La Pèira Dreta (Tournissan) submitted by richardfrance on 24th Feb 2008. It's a fairly clean-cut and rather phallic stone of 1.75 m. and has a face which could be said to point towards le Roc Troue - a suggestively gaping hole high up in a cliff above the village.
There is another menhir close by - with a story - to be visited soon.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Languedoc:Aude (11))
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jul 2001. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Dolmen de Palats submitted by richardfrance on 6th Jun 2008. While there are only two stones remaining, the location - in the heart of the Corbieres - and the dolmen's emplacement - atop a clear tumulus in a fertile little valley - make this a site worth visiting.
The capstone is pear-shaped - nearly 3 m. long and over 2 m. wide.

The views from up here, over the plain of the Aude river are truly spectacular. On a clear day, the Mediterranean sea and the sacred mountain of Canigou in the Pyrénées are clearly visible.

Visited: Yes on 21st Jul 2001. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 4
Allée Couverte de Saint-Eugène submitted by thecaptain on 14th Mar 2006. Up on top of a pine covered hill is an open flattish area, upon which is built this lovely tomb. It has all been much restored, so quite how much is original I do not know.
The first thing you see is a circular stone wall containing a stone cairn, about a metre high and about 25 metres in diameter, with upright slabs every 5 metres or so around its circumference. Within this is the remains of a massive structure, and a partitioned chamber.
