Menhir des Droits de l'Homme
Date Added: 15th Jan 2014
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Would like to visit
Menhir des Droits de l'Homme submitted by thecaptain on 19th Dec 2006. This large menhir was erected here and inscribed in 1840 to commemorate the shipwreck of the "Droits de l'Homme" in 1797 with the loss of around 600 lives.
The stone is a real menhir moved here from elsewhere. It's next to a car park besides this phenomenal beach, with the surf pounding in all around, creating its own fog !

Ile Guénioc
Date Added: 15th Jan 2014
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: France (Bretagne:Finistère (29))
Visited: Would like to visit
Ile Guénioc submitted by thecaptain on 17th Jun 2006. Just offshore from Presqu'ile Ste-Marguerite near the town of Landéda can be seen Ile Guénioc.
This island, which is difficult to get to, has on it three massive cairns with their multitude of chambers and dolmens within them. In order to get here a boat is needed, and I think that landing on the island is controlled.

You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a dolmen, and it is locally listed as such, but Burl sets you right. These stones were originally a passage grave with an earth mound on top
