Rennes may not have the same megalithic richness that central and western Brittany are renowned for, but this Dolmen holds it own reputation. It is basically a 20 metre long passage of purple-hued stone. The stone was mined from Theil-de-Bretagne, only a few miles away, 5000 years ago! They’re call the Rock of the Fairies, because it’s believed that only fairy magic could have moved the rocks from so many miles away to this spot. The feeling of being under these rocks is… indescribable. 

• The Musee des Arts et Traditions Populaires is nearby, and it explores early 20th century rural art and lifestyles.
• Walking, boating and fishing are popular activities at the nearby lake at Marcille-Robert. Bird watching too-there’s an observation point on the road to La Guerche-de-Bretagne.
• Find the rocks can be difficult, especially if you can’t speak/read French. Make sure the spot is marked on your GPS before you set out.

• You’ll have to drive to here.
