Alignements du Ménec.

Carnac.

La région de Carnac réunit la plus forte concentration de mégalithes au monde. Les menhirs, les dolmens et les allées couvertes s’étendent sur plus de quatre kilomètres. Ces alignements qui comptent près de 4000 pierres levées, toutes en granit local, ont été érigés vers 4 500 ans avant notre ère.
Les principaux alignements de menhirs sont ceux du Ménec, de Kermario, de Kerlescan et du Petit Ménec.
