The Alignments of Carnac

Amazing alignments!

The site is made up of alignments of menhirs, dolmens and covered walkways, a total of more than 4000 stones spread over more than four kilometres. Known throughout the world for its menhirs, the archaeological site of Carnac is closed for part of the year to avoid damage (closed to the public in summer and free access in winter). However, you will be able to admire these gigantic stones standing on the roadside!

The archaeological museum of Carnac

You can visit the Carnac Archaeological Museum, which has one of the world’s richest collections of prehistoric artefacts found during successive excavations. The museum traces the evolution of man in Brittany from the Palaeolithic (45,000 years BC) to the Middle Ages.
