This obviously interested me in my search for a good tour and that's why I looked here as I had no idea what dolmens were: https://www.lieux-insolites.fr/hsaone/brevilliers/brevilliers.htm The Brévilliers dolmen This dolmen was excavated between 1976 and 1984 by Messrs Petrequin and Pinigre. It is part of a group of 18 megaliths located on the limestone plateau of the Haute-Saône, north of the Jura Arc. These monuments are the survivors of what is certainly a much larger whole. Archival documents refer to a second dolmen in Brévilliers. But this one has unfortunately disappeared. ………….
