Mystery and belief
We can’t say with certainty what these menhirs symbolised or what they were used for. However, we do know that dolmens are collective tombs for the cremated remains of the dead. There are likely to be several dozen individuals buried in the dolmens.
We have two of them in Grimaud: one on the boundary of Grimaud and Sainte-Maxime and another in the Lyons neighbourhood.
All of these prehistoric remains are currently on private property. You will need permission from the owners to be able to gain access.
In the Avelan neighbourhood, there used to be a dolmen, which has since disappeared.
