La Maison des Feins—or Maison des Fées—nestled in the forêt du Mesnil outside the town of Tressé in the département of Ille-et-Vilaine in Brittany. It's an allée couverte or passage grave, and remarkably well preserved. Later legend says it was (or is…) a house of the fairies, which makes it a rather eerie place to be.

I probably shouldn’t mention the woman walking two weasels in the woods…

Here I'm shamelessly taking a selfie outside a #PassageGrave in Jutland.
It's possible to climb inside a very small chamber through the entry behind me.
