Hotié de Viviane, Megalithic tomb in Paimpont Forest, France
The stone burial chamber measures 2.9 meters in length and 1.4 meters in height, constructed with red schist slabs within a circular mound.
Carbon-14 dating of charcoal found at the excavation site indicates the tomb's construction period between 3355 and 2890 BCE during the late Neolithic period.
The tomb contains artifacts including polished dolerite axes, flint tools, jewelry pendants, and ceramic pieces that reflect burial practices of prehistoric societies.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by following the path from Beauvais village toward the Rauco moorland at an elevation of 191 meters.
Archaeological excavations in 1982-1983 revealed a carefully arranged stone cairn surrounding a central burial chamber with preserved funerary objects.
