half timbered houses. |

Mont Saint Michel is a village with
monastery and church in the middle. All built on a hill just off
the coast. It is interesting to see, but unfortunately it is
absolutely packed with tourists.
Tip: You best go right before sunset, then you
can have a good look without too many tourists. Shops and
restaurants are still open then, and it is illuminated in a nice
way after sunset. The next morning you go straight trough and
visit the monastery.
Attention: Have a good look at the tide warning
signs at the parking lots! Most of the parking lots are flooded
by high tide.

The Dolmens de Kerguntuill (two dolmens) are
located a little north of Lezardrieux. They aren't easy to find, but
they are worth the effort. |

| The Cairn of Barnenez is the largest one
in Europe. It is in Kénéhélén, at the bay of Morlaix,
near Plaugasnou. It was built between 4500 and 3900 BC, and is made
up of 11 chambers. From the back 4 chambers are open, because
the Cairn was used as a quarry in the 1950's. They should have
known better by then! But at least this way one can see how the
structure was built.

In Erdeven, near Carnac, you see the Alignements de
Kerzerho and lots of Menhires, up to 6m (18 feet) high.
|
|
| The Alignements of Carnac go on for
several kilometers (miles) and are just stunning! The whole
thing was built between 5000 and 2000 BC and consists of about 4000
standing stones. Off season one can actually walk between the
stones in some areas, which are fenced in otherwise.
