Dolmen de la Gaillarde-sur-Mer

Dolmen de la Gaillarde-sur-Mer is a Neolithic stone burial chamber in Roquebrune-sur-Argens featuring a rectangular chamber with a passage entrance. The structure consists of large stones positioned to create an interior space for ritual and burial purposes.

This stone burial structure dates to the Neolithic period when such megalithic constructions served the ritual and funerary needs of ancient communities. It received official protection as a historical monument in 1910.

Archaeological excavations in 1908 revealed human remains and flint arrowheads within the chamber, indicating the burial practices of ancient communities in this region.

The dolmen is located on Avenue des Tumulus and remains freely accessible throughout the year for visitors. You can approach the structure directly and explore the stone formation at your own pace.

This megalithic structure is the only survivor of three dolmens that once stood in this area. The other two were demolished during residential development in the 1960s.
