Introducing Carnac

   Welcome to Carnac

   Stand aside, Stonehenge – Carnac (Garnag in Breton) has the world’s greatest concentration of megalithic sites. Predating Stonehenge by around 100 years, there are over 3000 of these upright stones, most around thigh-high, erected between 5000 BC and 3500 BC.

   About 32km west of Vannes, Carnac has two parts: the old stone village, Carnac-Ville, and, 1.5km south, bordered by the 2km-long sandy beach, Carnac-Plage, a seaside resort. Carnac’s megaliths stretch 13km north from Carnac-Ville and east as far as the village of Locmariaquer.
