If you like pre-history then just gaze and marvel. The site is vast. More

From April on, you generally get to see them from roadside, and all tours are in French. During the winter months, you can walk among them. Bring galoshes. It stormed in Carnac like we had never seen, then a few hours later, gorgeous. More
