Frébouchère dolmen, Passage grave in Le Bernard, France

The Frébouchère dolmen features a massive granite capstone measuring 8.30 meters in length and 5.50 meters in width, supported by nine pillars.

Built approximately 5500 years ago when the Atlantic coast of Vendée formed a bay, this megalithic monument received classification as a Historical Monument in 1889.

Local narratives tell of fairies and sprites who constructed the dolmen and used it as a celebration hall, leaving supernatural footprints on its surface.

The dolmen stands along an 8.7-kilometer walking trail that connects the municipalities of Le Bernard and Avrillé through shaded paths near a stream.

Inside the burial chamber, visitors can observe a truncated cone-shaped stone column that appears unrelated to the structural support system.
