Presentation

Meeting with our enthusiasts - Megalithic sites
"If stones could talk"
The human presence is very old in the Pays de Retz. The town of Pornic has a remarkable Neolithic site without equivalent in the Loire-Atlantique.

A visit to the Motte necropolis includes a tour of the Tumulus des Mousseaux and access to the ‘Three Skeletons’ site, located nearby on the private property of Jacques Ravaut and Elisabeth Donnely.
Florence, your guide, will first introduce you to the tumulus and share some anecdotes about it. She will tell you about Baron Olivier de Wismes and show you many drawings he made in the 19th century of the megaliths.

Some of these sites are listed as historic monuments.
