FRANCE HOLIDAY PART 3 | A NEOLITHIC DOLMEN AND LA ROCHE L'ABEILLE VILLAGE
In part 3 of my series documenting my family holiday in France, I explore a Neolithic (Stone Age) Dolmen on the outskirts of a tiny village called La Roche L' Abeille. There are loads of these dotted all over the world, this being the second time I have explored one myself, the first being Kitt's Coty House in Kent.
We then drove into the village for a wander around to explore, including the parish church and stopped for a drink in the local cafe/ bar. Once again, the weather was lovely, perhaps a little too hot at times!
