Hiking

For more than a kilometer, there are more than 1000 menhirs in 11 straight stone rows near Ménec, part of the famous Alignements of Carnac. To the east, the stone setting continues in the fields of Kermario and Kerlescan, covering a total length of nearly four kilometers. It is the world's largest megalithic complex of this kind, about 7000 years old.
South of the Ménec field is the visitor center "Maison des Mégalithes", menhirs-carnac.fr
