Description

5,000 years ago, groups of humans settled the Cham des Bondons plateau and marked the landscape by erecting megaliths (imposing stone monuments). With almost 200 standing stones identified so far, this site has one of the most important concentration of menhirs in France. The five-kilometre trail showcases some of the monuments and has panoramic views over the Causses plateaux.
