The Road Home Pt. 3 - Carnac July 10

From Nantes we drive along the coast to the small village of Carnac.  The entire area around Carnac has many megalithic sites of dolmens and menhirs.  A dolmen is a single chamber burial site, with a table like top.  Below is a dolmen

Inside the dolmen, the walls are covered with mystic tic-tac-toe.

an alignment of Menhir's or standing stones.

LUNCH - we follow the advice and directions of our lonely planet guide to France, and eat in a traditional long-house which is in the centre of a circle of menhirs.

inside the long-house, hand hewn timber ceiling - very cool place.

Is that rock looking at me?

YUM.  Raspberry crepe, originally from Brittany, being eaten in Brittany.

Next stop Mt. St. Michel.
