Carnac

When they told me we were going to see the prehistoric standing stones at Carnac, I had something like Stone Henge in mind.
The stones were much smaller mainly three or four feet in height, but they made up for that in sheer quantity, there are masses of them stretching out along the hillside.  They are very extensive, and some of the stones are much larger, but not where we stopped.  There is a visitor centre, with a book and gift shop, and you could cross the road to see them close up, or climb the steps to the flat roof to get a panorama.
While we were there a little train arrived, which seemed a good way to visit them. You can read more about the stones here. We only stayed a short while before going on to Quiberon
