Dolmen du Ranc de Guilhaumet
This dolmen on the top of the hill Ranc de Guilhaumet (336 metres high), right in the middle of the typical garrigue, is also called « the Giant’s tomb ». Long ago, people used to believe that dolmens were built by giants, fairies or elves.
The chamber of this collective tomb from the Neolithic times, has a
trapezoidal shape, with 3 metre long limestones. It was probably co-vered by a table stone.
The whole tomb is protected by a pile of stones, 20 metres in diameter, known as a tumulus.
The tomb was probably meant to be seen in the distance.
