(9) You can shorten the hike by a few kilometres by turning left at the Saint-Martin church in Oppagne.
Alternating between forest and countryside, the hike takes you on a journey of discovery to some of the megaliths in the region. You will see two magnificent dolmens and a few blocks of puddingstone, some standing and some lying down.
