We had lunch at 3 p.m. Hans was very hungry 🤣.

On today's hike we will forgo the sea and choose stones. More precisely: menhirs. The 3,000 menhirs near Carnac are said to be around 7,000 years old. It's like walking through a sea of stones. They don't just stand around like that. Rather, they are arranged in mile-long rows on the three known sites. A very impressive monument.

A leisurely walk along the stone rows of Carnac. Megaliths that are more than 6,000 years old can be viewed in various sections.
The way back took us past the Tumulus St. Michel. A church on a hill with a beautiful view
