Carnac

The landscape around Carnac is a low, Atlantic-facing stretch of southern Brittany, where sandy shores and sheltered waters have shaped both the town’s layout and its tourism-based local economy. On the Bay of Quiberon, Carnac combines a resort seafront with one of Europe’s most important Neolithic monument complexes. The Carnac alignments comprise roughly 3,000 standing stones, arranged in long rows across fields north of town; the Ménec, Kermario and Kerlescan groups are the best known. These prehistoric monuments make Carnac a key place for understanding Neolithic Brittany. Browse other webcams across Morbihan and Brittany to place Carnac in a wider coastal context.
