Departure from Carnac (Morbihan)
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.
