The Table des Marchand (near
Locmariaquer) was a more than 20 m high Menhir, that
weight 280 tons. It was erected 4.500 BC, but at
some point during the millenniums it fell and broke. But
even in pieces it is still impressing. |

The Dolmens de Kerioned
(left photo) are near Carnac. One Dolmen is
under ground and has lots of carvings.
Also the Dolmen des Pierre Plates
(right photo) has lots of carvings. It is
stunningly long, and is located right next
to the beach at Locmariaquer.
Tip: Carry a flashlight or
head lamp.

The Cairn de Gavrinis is
special, because it's inside is just covered
in beautiful carvings. The Cairn is on a small
island, and can be accesed by a tour boat from
the port of Larmor-Baden. The guided tour is
only in French, but even without the language
skills it is worth going.
On the island on the other side one can see
a stone circle, which is half below sea
level.

Camping in the front yard of a Chateau.
Many owners of a Chateau have problems to pay for it, so
they try to make money with a camping site or other
things. |
|
The church and memorial of Verdun
is not really pretty, but still worth seeing. Especially
the back side of the building. There you can look
through small windows into the basement, which is filled
with human bones and sculls!
In the whole area one can visit lots of old military
structures and monuments.

We were lucky with the weather,
dry and mostly sunny, but at night the
temperatures dropped quite a bit. |
