They were building strong back then!
Not only is the dolmen of Bagneux by its size, its regularity, one of the most imposing and most remarkable in Europe, but, thinking of our more or less ephemeral constructions, one starts to dream a little in front of this building which is not less than 5000 years old.
It comes to us from the Neolithic period, with its 18 meters long, and a roof that happily exceeds 100 tons! Unusual? No, imposing! Imposing testimony of a very old know-how, with accents of mystery.
From the 4.25-metre wide entrance, it widens out to the "back room", which is 5.40 metres wide. It is a large room with four supports on each side.
Share a little about the life of Neolithic man...
Your visit will not stop at the simple admiration of the estate itself, as there is a small museum where the tools of the time are on display, which allow you to imagine and understand the life of these Neolithic men, how they managed to build, how they cultivated the surrounding area...
You will also see showcases of petrified fossils that attest to life forms in those ancient times.
