Carnac... a village near the Atlantic coast of Brittany in northwestern France, Carnac is famous as the site of more than 3,000 prehistoric stone monuments. The single standing stones (menhirs) and multistone clusters (dolmens) were hewn from local granite, now worn by time and weather and covered with white lichen. The stones were venerated by the Bretons (the Celtic people of Brittany).
