Bretteville (Manche)

L'aire de stationnement devant cette allée-coudée splendide nous fournit d'une vue impressionante.
Elle se trouve à coté de la D.320 au Theil, et est marquée sur la carte Michelin.

This fine allée-coudée or passage-tomb by the side of a narrow, steep and twisting rural road
(D.320 to Le Theil, marked on the Michelin map of Normandy)
has a fine parking area which offers a fine side-on view of the monument.

Prise d'une aubépine convéniente, une belle vue du sud-ouest.
Another view (from the SW) taken from a nearby hawthorn-bush.

A remarquer: la dalle-porte avec une face de quartzite.
Note the doorstone (bottom right) which is faced with quartzite.

Vue du sud-est, la tombe et ma camionnette de déménagement de l'Irlande du Nord en France.
Another view taken from the SE side of the tomb, and showing also the van in which I moved furniture, plants etc.
from Ireland to Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val.
