The Dolmen des Feuilles I ( German  "Dolmen of the leaves" ) is located between Claret and Rouet , near Montpellier in the Hérault department in France .

It consists of a straight corridor and a chamber with two compartments and is 14.0 meters long in total. The separation was not created as a soul hole , but as a coaxial acute-angled passage , the stones of which tower so high that about half of the covering cairn must have been removed.

The dolmen is a late Neolithic monument dating from 3200 to 2800 BC. BC originated and was used.

The Dolmen Feuilles II + III are nearby, but have been largely destroyed.
