In-Depth Information
Between Kermario and Kerlescan, 500m south of the D196, deposit your fee (€1) in an
honour box at
Tumulus de Kercado
, dating from 3800 BC and the burial site of a Neo-
lithic chieftain. From the parking area 300m further along the D196, a 15-minute walk
brings you to the
Géant du Manio
, the highest menhir in the complex.
For some background, the
Musée de Préhistoire
chronicles life in and around Carnac
from the Palaeolithic and Neolithic eras to the Middle Ages.
The main bus stops are in Carnac-Ville, outside the police station on rue St-Cornély,
and in Carnac-Plage, beside the tourist office. Keolis Atlantique runs a daily bus to Auray,
Vannes and Quiberon (€2).
