Dolmen : Ustau du loup
Saint-Gervazy
Dating from around 2000 BC, this dolmen was a covered walkway used for funerary purposes. The slabs that must have covered the whole thing lie next to the dolmen and weigh several dozen tons !
Listed as a historic monument since 1896, it consists of six standing stones forming a corridor. The hut or “Ustau du Loup” or “grotte aux fées” has naturally given rise to many questions over the years, and remains the stuff of many legends.
