Tombeau des Géants, Gallery grave in Campénéac, France
The Tombeau des Géants features a rectangular chamber constructed from massive red schist blocks, with two lateral slabs forming its primary structure.
Archaeological excavations in 1982 revealed the tomb's construction period between 3000 BC and 1500 BC, with a circular mound of quartz and schist stones.
The megalithic tomb represents prehistoric burial practices in Brittany, containing elements that align with regional funerary traditions of the Neolithic period.
Access to the site remains free from early April through mid-September, with visitors finding the location near La Touche Guérin in Campénéac.
An overturned menhir lies eight meters west of the main structure, suggesting additional ritual significance beyond the primary burial chamber.
