A dolmen (from Cornish tolmen "stone table" or from Breton dolmen "stone table") is usually a prehistoric grave structure built from large, unhewn or hewn stone blocks (megaliths). It consists of three or more upright standing stones (orthostats) on which one or more capstones rest. Dolmens are traditionally considered the simplest form of a megalithic grave. In Europe, most dolmens were originally covered with mounds of stones or earth. (Wikipedia, 30.07.26)

Magnificent chapel and its Calvary

The small chapel on Rue Kerleguer dates from the 15th century and was restored in the mid-19th century. It is built in the late Gothic style with pointed gables and lancet windows, the roof surfaces are asymmetrical and decorated with corbels and attics. As its name suggests, it is dedicated to Saint Fiacre, an Irish hermit who travelled from Ireland to France in the 7th century. Saint Fiacre is venerated as the patron saint of gardeners, coachmen, and taxi drivers. The faithful celebrate his feast on the first Sunday in September. Inside the chapel, a large tracery window behind the altar is noteworthy: the central stained-glass window depicts Saint Fiacre with his attributes: a spade and a sheaf of wheat. Above it are three windows with allegorical representations of the «Sacré Cœur». The shady square in front of the chapel, surrounded by trees, invites you to rest.
