This is what Carnac has become. A tour bus itinerary for mouth-breathing yokels and their screaming, snot-faced children. They proudly wear their igno (...)

The fence may delimit the site but the stones keep going, past the house, into the oak forest, seemingly forever. Farmers have learned to live with th (...)

Menhirs marching down the hill. It's slow going, you know. They have been at it for 6000 yrs. They'll get to their destination, long after we are exti (...)

This is the cairn at the other end. When they studied this site they found, like Stonehenge, that a previous structure had been built of wood. You sho (...)

Brushing elbows with Carnac is the town of Locmariaquer. It, too, bristles with megalithic monuments. This is the fabled Table Des Marchands, a covere (...)

The massive entrance to the cairn. The chamber inside is 2.5 meters high. The inner stones are highly carved with symbolic imagery, as difficult to in (...)

Next to the cairn lies the largest menhir in the world. It lies broken in three pieces. When it was raised in neolithic times, it stood 20 meters tall (...)

The path ended at a modest hill with this slab of rock on it. Not too much to recommend it, I thought. Might as well climb the hill. Maybe there is a (...)

A steep series of stone steps led downward. The farm was built right up against the site. It was interesting on its own but what lay around that corne (...)

Wow. Deep darkness beckoned at the end of this trench. Even though the alley was no longer covered, I felt like hunching over in deference to any gods (...)

A classic dolmen entrance unchanged since the dawn of neolithic times. What mysteries were shared inside?

This is the view looking back towards the entrance. The end chamber has stones that are carved with strange signs. Someone had traced the carvings wit (...)

Dad and I both thought it was an interesting site. However, we couldn't get Murielle to go down there. She is very supersitious and the old places giv (...)

Having been stymied by these paying sites, we drove off until Murielle spotted this sign. All the megalithic spots are catalogued and marked with sign (...)

The site was surrounded by old farm houses totally integrated into the environment. You wouldn't know there was anything of interest here but for the (...)

This is one of the oldest dolmen in Brittany, if not anywhere. It was constructed here shortly after the spread of agriculture into this region, some (...)

The passage way was deliberately built low so that you have to incline your head or go on your hands and knees.

Regardless, there is one spot where it dips so low, you have to incline your head in respect. I banged my head twice at this spot. The walls of the pa (...)

One of the stone carvings lining the passage way. I studied this for a while, as I'm sure many before me have. A thought was nagging me. The symbol wa (...)

This dolmen has an extra long passage because it houses multiple chambers along the inner way.
