The Dolmen des Fades is an interesting but little known ancient burial site dating from 5000 years ago. Signage is virtually non existent so it can be difficult to find.
Set on top of a wooded hilltop a few kilometers outside of Olonzac it is a peaceful spot with an aura about it.
Occasionally an art installation appears on same the hill just below the dolman. This recent one consists of wrapping the trees in brilliant colored cloth and hanging fabric between them. Earlier this year I arrived there to find stones, not the dolman itself, wrapped in tin foil. I found that a little odd but it did make me wonder why. Perhaps that was the only purpose.
