More than 550 megalithic sites have been listed. The 6,000-year-old Alignements de Carnac, the region's most famous megalithic site, remains a major centre of European prehistory. <br \/>Visit the alignments and then head to the Prehistory Museum. An essential prelude to a visit to the surrounding dolmens and menhirs, you'll also find out about daily life in the Neolithic period (4900-2200 BC). Don't miss the large alpine jade axes and polished ornaments imported from Spain... all prestigious objects that bear witness to the time when Carnac was a major European centre of power and wealth, at the beginning of the 5th millennium BC...<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Prehistory Museum: https:\/\/www.museedecarnac.com\/<br \/>Place Christian Bonnet formerly 10 Pl. de la Chapelle, 56340 Carnac<br \/>Alignements de Carnac: https:\/\/www.ot-carnac.fr\/megalithes\/alignements-de-carnac\/<br \/>Le M\u00e9nec, 56340 Carnac<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00608db e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"00608db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4222023 elementor-widget__width-auto destination-btn-nav elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"4222023\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xs\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eliofont eliofont-arrow-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Destination<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed54455 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ed54455\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xs\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eliofont eliofont-arrow-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Destination<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00e9galithes Carnac Les M\u00e9galithes de Carnac et le mus\u00e9e de la Pr\u00e9histoire : D\u00e9sormais inscrits au Patrimoine Mondial de l&rsquo;UNESCO, les m\u00e9galithes du Morbihan sont l&rsquo;une des \u00e9tapes clefs de votre s\u00e9jour en Bretagne.
