Pierre-aux-Fées, Neolithic dolmen in Reignier-Esery, France
The Pierre-aux-Fées dolmen features a massive covering slab measuring 4.90 meters long and 4.50 meters wide, supported by three stone pillars.
First documented in 1819 as a druidic altar, the dolmen received official recognition as a classified historical monument in France during 1910.
Local tales connect the dolmen to a medieval knight, Aymon de Bellecombe, and fairies who transported stones for a wedding celebration.
Located two kilometers from the town center near Saint-Ange hamlet, the dolmen includes a designated picnic area for visitors.
Laser scanning technology revealed the covering slab weighs approximately 40 tons and has a volume of 15.04 cubic meters.
