Presentation

The dolmen of La Joselière is a funerary monument, built around 3500 BC in the Middle Neolithic. Accessible by the coastal road, it is located south-east of Pornic, direction La Bernerie to Joselière.
This monument is formed by a partially preserved quadrangular mound, nearly 12 m on each side. Consisting of a mass of stones laid out flat, it is framed by two rectilinear dry stone walls.
It contains a transept megalithic tomb (crossing of the lateral chambers and the corridor) composed of four well individualized quadrangular lateral chambers served by an axial corridor whose entrance faces south-east.

This dolmen is classified as a historical monument (classification by decree of January 9, 1978).
It was partially restored in 1984.

It is accessible by the coastal path 250 meters east of the beach of La Joselière.

It is possible to discover the site with the members of the association AMER (Association Mégalithes en Retz) within the framework of a visit "RENCONTRES AVEC NOS PASSIONNÉS" entitled LES SITES MÉGALITHIQUES "Si les pierres pouvaient parler..." organized punctually by the Office de Tourisme Intercommunal de Pornic.
