| | Le Dolmen de Bagneux, monument mégalithique près de Saumur |
 | | The famous Dolmen in Bagneux is probably one of the most majestic French dolmens and the largest of the 4,500 dolmens spread out on about 60 French departments. |
 | | The overall length of this dolmen is over 23 meters (75 feet) and its chamber is over 18 meters (60 feet) long. |
 | | As all dolmens, the 'Great Covered stone" in Bagneux, was a large chamber tomb which must have contained a great number of prehistoric skeletons during the neolithic age, i.e.from 4,000 to 2,000 B.C., that is about 5,000 years ago. |
