Carnac and alignments of menhirs
Camping Les Embruns near Pénestin in South Morbihan offers you to discover: Carnac and alignments of menhirs.
Imagine: a city of 4,000 inhabitants, and almost as many stones standing in dolmens and menhirs! Go see more closely, it's impressive! Faced with such granite blocks, you feel so small ... so humble too. 7000 years of history stand before you ... it makes you think!
Today, direction Carnac! Impossible to spend holidays in Morbihan without a historical parenthesis. If Stonehenge is probably the most famous megalithic complex, Carnac is the most concentrated megalithic sanctuary in the world!
The Menec, Kermario, Kerlescan ... the sites follow each other and alignments of menhirs flirt with the horizon. To get closer to it, a passage to the house of the megaliths is necessary. How about a guided tour in the heart of the alignments? There's nothing like a passionate speaker guide to explore these fields of menhirs with you, and try to answer the eternal questions: why such lines? How many ? For what reasons ? What meanings? etc ... We have so much to discover!
For the most pragmatic, you will even be offered to relive the prehistoric era: lighting the fire, pottery workshop, menhir lifting, propellant shooting ... In short, the stone age, as if you were there!
And if Morbihannais are so proud of their neolithic heritage, they have at heart to safeguard and share it, like the association "Landscapes of megaliths" that works for the knowledge, enhancement and preservation of heritage megalithic of Carnac and South Morbihan. Its objective: to bring the project of candidature to the World Heritage of Unesco. It would be a beautiful recognition, is not it ?!
After this time of immersion and discovery, you will fall for a little chocolate? In the form of menhir of course! Go to the menhirs biscuit factory where the Cartron brothers, pastry-chocolatiers, have imagined to transform the emblem of Obélix into greed ... mmmmhhh, what a delight !!
