Description The Gavrinis Cairn on an Island in the Golfe du Morbillan is one of the best preserved sites in Brittany. It has marvelous carved slabs in the passage and chamber. You need to take a boat ride from Larmor Baden Harbour, near Vannes to get there.

The old Celts were skillful architects. Such passages are also visitable in new-found cairns of southern Germany. If you like to come contact me.

To avoid any misunderstanding: This was not built by "old celts". It is much older.
