Chevresse dolmen

The Chevresse dolmen is composed of several large granite blocks arranged in a stacked formation within a forested area of the Morvan region. The structure sits at an elevation of approximately 600 meters and spans several meters across.

The granite blocks formed through natural erosion processes over millions of years, not through human construction as with true dolmens. Despite its classification as a dolmen, geological evidence shows the formation developed naturally.

The site attracts visitors interested in ancient traditions and spiritual gatherings, with local groups using the space for ceremonies throughout the year. The forest setting provides a quiet backdrop for these meetings.

Access is by foot along a marked trail that passes through the forest and takes about 30 minutes from the starting point. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for varying ground conditions depending on the season.

Despite being registered as an archaeological site, this location is actually a naturally formed granite outcropping shaped by erosion rather than a prehistoric construction. This unusual classification makes it a curious intersection of geology and cultural heritage.
