Megalithic Sites of Brittany

Brittany contains one of the world's highest concentrations of Neolithic monuments, dating from 5000 to 3000 BC. This collection spans the massive stone alignments of Carnac and the Cairn of Barnenez, one of Europe's oldest man-made structures. The list features diverse megalithic architecture, including the engraved passage graves of Locmariaquer, the towering Menhir de Champ-Dolent, and legendary sites in the Forest of Paimpont, offering insight into prehistoric funerary rites and engineering across the Morbihan Gulf and Finistère.
