France - Brittany
Musée de la Prehistoire

Carnac, Bretagne, France
Recenter Map To This Location

In the windswept fields on the edge of the seaside town of Carnac are over 2,700 standing stones (menhirs) arranged in lines (alignements). The stones, believed to have been erected between 4,000 and 2,000 B.C., consist of three groups each arranged in patterns of 10 to 13 rows. The area is somewhat divided by country roads but the site is large enough that you can meander around and enjoy the groupings unhindered by the milling crowds and ticket barriers that impede your enjoyment of the British counterpart, Stonehenge. The Musée de la Préhistoire will help you interpret the stones. (Open all year, tel: 02.97.52.22.04.)
