Take your time and let us guide you on a stroll along the Alignements…  Discover the history of the monument, appreciate its grandeur and architecture, and step inside the site to explore its details.

Before or after your visit, take the time to explore the Maison des mégalithes.
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.
