Megalithic site : La table au diable (the table to the devil), Passais la Conception (Orne, Normandy, France).


A covered walkway is a particular type of dolmen. An inordinately long dolmen burial chamber with a more or less the same width as the corridor. The whole is covered with several horizontal slabs (tables) based on a series of lateral uprights (or orthostatic) included in the mound or who are outside to inside. Le Passais (North of the department of Mayenne and south-western department of Orne) is the country's transition, a space on the edge of Normandy, Maine and Brittany). Scholars believe that "Le Passais"(The country's transition) provided the framework for the production of certain texts of the Arthurian legend. This is the hypothesis Bansard-Payen: "Le Passais" as the land of Lancelot of the Lake.
