la Roche Aux Fées
France

C’est un dolmen à couloir composé d’une succession de portiques plutôt qu’une allée couverte. Elle est composée d’une chambre principale et d’une antichambre. La chambre principale est elle-même divisée en quatre parties par trois pierres.

Selon les sources, la structure est composée de 40 à 50 pierres. Le site est constitué de 41 pierres principales :

9 pierres horizontales (table) dont une beaucoup plus petite que les autres,

32 pierres verticales (orthostats) dont une inclinée et une plus importante pour le chevet.

Une pierre se trouve à part, entourée par les racines d’un arbre.

La table du portique d’entrée était apparemment instable jusqu’en 1955.

Les pierres plus lourdes pèsent 40 tonnes.

La structure se rapproche d‘un parallélépipède qui fait 19,5 m de long pour environ 4,70 m de large et au maximum 4,10 m de haut. L’antichambre est légèrement moins haute que la chambre principale.

Les pierres sont en schiste pourpré ordovicien affleurant (et non extrait). La forêt du Theil à environ 5 km est l’endroit le plus proche où on trouve ce type de roche.

Bien qu’aucune fouille ne le prouve, la structure devait à l’origine être recouverte d‘un tumulus comme la plupart des monuments de ce type. De la même façon, du fait d’ossements trouvés dans des monuments semblables, on peut supposer que la Roche-aux-Fées avait un rôle funéraire.

Aujourd’hui, la structure est entourée d’arbres.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
