Known as the prehistoric site featuring megaliths, Carnac is the most passionate subject for archeologist, historian, scientist, spiritual healers, druids, astrologists and psychics. A must see in Brittany.

To visit:

• The Menec alignments: A wide (300 feet) and long (1-mile) field planted with lines of 1019 megaliths (menhirs). The average weight of a menhir is 30 tons and measure between 3 feet to 12 feet high in this area. This field has 2 cromlech (semi circle of menhir) on both edges of the field: one with 70 menhirs and the other one with only 29 left. Read also Carnac and megaliths
• The Kerlescan alignment is a smaller field with only 13 lines of 560 menhirs on half a mile
• The Kermario alignment: more than 1000 menhirs spreads on a field of 1 mile long and 300 feet wide. This field has the particularity to have the menhir planted from the smallest to the tallest in size from east to west
• Tumulus St Michel: Impressive Barrow dated 5000 years old BC. A barrow is a dolmen (gallery of menhir forming a tunnel) that is covered and hidden with soil (it is then called a Tumulus) or with stones (in this case called Cairn) to preserve it from the thieves and enemies. This tumulus is 36 feet high, 375 feet long and 180 feet wide and it looks like a small hill. Some objects were found inside the tumulus in the beginning of the century and they are now in the archeological museum in Vannes. Also, on the top of the hill, a little chapel is built with a panoramic view on the area.
