Things to see and do Locmariaquer

Er Grah's burial megalith is a Neolithic megalith belonging to the family of closed vault burials. Its size is impressive, even exceptional, since it is nearly 140 meters long! Unfortunately, it is truncated at both ends and partially shaved. Its slab covers a chamber with dry masonry walls that is the only known funeral structure in this enormous architecture. The burial mound is located on the same site as Er Grah's broken great menhir and the Merchants' table.

The large broken menhir is one of the most famous stones because it is the most imposing ever worked by prehistoric man (20 meters long for about 280 tons...). Today, it offers to the eye the image of a broken giant, long called the Stone of the Fairy. It is an incredibly impressive obelisk that, standing up, must have been about 18 metres long, just like that! Smart: the Pass des Mégalithes allows you to benefit from advantageous rates to visit five unique sites in Morbihan (the Museum of Prehistory and the alignments of Carnac, the Cairn of Gavrinis, the Cairn of the Petit Mont in Arzon and the site of the megaliths of Locmariaquer).
