Archaeological sites Pornic

Located south-east of Pornic, the dolmen of the Joselière is a funeral monument built around 3500 BC in the Middle Neolithic. It consists of a partially conserved quadrangular mound, approximately 12 metres apart. Consisting of a mass of flat stone stones, it is framed by two straight walls of dry stone, and contains a transeptée megalithic tomb (crossing of the side rooms and corridor) composed of four well-individualized quadrangular side chambers and served by an axial corridor whose entrance faces the south-east. It is accessible by the coastal road, about 200 metres from the beach of Joselière.

This monument consists of blocks of scattered sandstone and slabs in place delimiting quite clearly its different parts. To the west, the main chamber is partially covered by an imposing white quartz block. It was excavated at the end of the th century. This dolmen is listed in the additional inventory of Historic Monuments. You can access the site from the coast trail.
