Carnac Megalithic Stones Photos

Carnac town is close by many well known megalithic monument sites, especially the Carnac standing stones (menhirs) alignments. The Visitor's Center provides an extensive explanation of what is known about the site. Entrance to the site itself requires an advance reservation by guided group tour only. However, there are good views from the pathway circling the site.
