The Petit Mont cairn is an imposing monument more than six millennia old. Used by Neolithic men, then in the Gallo-Roman era, and finally during the Second War when a bunker was dug there, the site which occupies the end of the Rhuys peninsula is full of curiosity.

In high season, the site is open every day. Guided tours are offered there.

Impressive relic from the Neolithic period. The first burial chambers date from around 4600 BC.
Unfortunately it has been "beautified" with great German concrete from the Second World War, but it is interesting nonetheless
