Presentation
The Carnac megaliths site can be explored in 2 stages:
- The House of Megaliths:
A reception and interpretation centre, the Maison des megalithes invites you to discover the site and megalithism in a whole new way. Exhibitions, videos and interactive media provide answers to the 4 key questions: who, when, how and why. The Maison des megalithes is the gateway to the Alignments, where you'll also find a ticket office and bookshop.
- The Alignments :
The standing stones of Carnac stretch over a length of 4km in 4 distinct groups: Le Ménec, Kermario, Le Manio and Kerlescan.
Self-guided tour (outdoor guide package):
Enter the heart of one of the groups with your own guide to discover the site.
