Dolmen de Bagneux, Neolithic dolmen in Saumur, France.
The Dolmen de Bagneux measures 23 meters in length and features massive stone slabs arranged to form a burial chamber with a rectangular shape.
Built during the Neolithic period around 5,000 years ago, this megalithic structure served as a communal burial site for the ancient inhabitants of the Loire Valley.
The construction methods of this megalithic monument demonstrate the technical capabilities and social organization of Neolithic communities in western France.
Located on private property, visitors can access the site during specific hours and learn about prehistoric burial practices through information panels at the entrance.
With its chamber extending over 18 meters, the Dolmen de Bagneux stands as the largest megalithic burial chamber in France and second largest in Europe.
