Le Grand Dolmen de Bagneux submitted by greywether on 1st Jul 2005. Site in Pays de la Loire:Maine-et-Loire 49
Some statistics: 17.3m long x 5.4m max wide x 3.1m high. The antechamber adds another 4m to the length. It is covered with four capstones the largest of which is 7.6m long and weighs 86 tons. The large overlapping backstone is 7.3m long.
Truly massive and worth the price of admission. You don't (or didn't) have to eat at the cafe to see it but it adds to the fun.
