Carnac, located in the Brittany region of northwestern France, is a town of profound historical and archaeological significance. The area is internationally renowned for its remarkable collection of megalithic monuments known as the Carnac stones, which date back to the Neolithic period (around 4500-2500 BCE). These prehistoric stone alignments, consisting of thousands of standing stones or menhirs arranged in parallel rows, represent one of the most extensive megalithic sites in Europe.
Beyond its prehistoric heritage, Carnac is a charming coastal town that combines cultural heritage with seaside appeal. The town is divided into two main areas: Carnac-Ville, the traditional town center with its local markets and historic church, and Carnac-Plage, a popular beach resort area. The region maintains strong Breton cultural traditions, visible in its local festivals, cuisine, and architecture. The town also houses several museums and research centers dedicated to preserving and studying its archaeological heritage.
