A place steeped in history, Carnac boasts the highest concentration of megaliths in the world.

This historic site boasts the highest concentration of megaliths in the world. From west to east, the megaliths stretch as far as the commune of La Trinité-sur-Mer, where the Petit Ménec alignment is located. Some of these extraordinary granite stones, erected by the first farmers of the Neolithic period, weigh almost twenty tonnes! Protected as a historic monument since 1889, the site - and those on the banks of the Morbihan - will join Unesco's World Heritage List on July 12, 2025. It is the first Breton site to be inscribed on the World Heritage List.

Déçu ,commercial ,rien à voir
Déçu très commercial les visites sont payantes pour ne rien voir
Le site n'est plus entretenu les arbustes les herbes recouvrent les menhirs
Contrairement à l'alignement d'Erdeven qui est beaucoup plus petit mais tres bien entretenu.

Many stones, unfortunately it's fenced off. Great walk around the stones though, especially around Manio.
