The Carnac alignments from Le Ménec
Discover a world-famous prehistoric site that takes us back 7,000 years! In addition to the famous Ménec and Kermario alignments, the hike includes the moving Manio quadrilateral and the giant menhir of the same name, two tumuli, including the imposing Tumulus Saint-Michel topped by a chapel, and two ancient fountains. A very diverse route through moorland, woods and meadows.
From the beaches to the Carnac alignments
Starting from Avenue de l'Atlantique near the Carnac thalassotherapy centre, the walk allows you to discover the coast and its beaches before heading into the countryside to see the alignments, dolmens, cromlechs and menhirs, before returning to the beaches.
From the beach to the stone rows in Carnac
Carnac is known for its seafront and beautiful beaches, but above all for its famous menhir alignments. This walk will allow you to discover both of these aspects. As you head towards the west coast, you’ll get closer to the Quiberon peninsula, which seems very close at Anse du Pô. Heading back north, you’ll pass the various sites of the Ménec and Kermario alignments, as well as the Giant of Manio. On the way back, you’ll discover the Kercado and Saint-Michel tumuli.
The Carnac alignments from the village
Discover the Carnac alignments starting from the village. Pass by the Carnac Tumulus, then discover Le Ménec and its village, the Kermario site, the woods of the Giant of Manio, a small village called Kerlescan and return via Kerluir and Cloucarnac. The official title is "Route No. 2: the Carnac Alignments".
