The 3,000 standing stones are spread over 40 hectares and stretch for 4 kilometres in length according to an meticulously organised plan. Recent studies have suggested links between the alignments and changes during the Neolithic era when humans began to live a more sedentary existence. The stone lines lead to sacred “enclosures” while the dolmen were used for funeral and burial rites. Opening hours for reception building :> 2nd May to 30th June: from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.> 1st July to 4th September: from 9.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m.> 5th September to 30th April: from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed:> 1st January, 1st May and 25th December. Admission fees: Adults : 6 €; Concessions (18 to 25) = 5 €; Free admission: minors under 18*; Free admission: 18-25 years old* (citizens of one of the 27 countries of the EU or are non-European permanent residents of France) * excluding school groups « less
