St-Pierre-Quiberon Alignement submitted by thecaptain on 12th Jun 2006. Out on the Quiberon Peninsula, near to the Kerbourgnec cromlech can be found a pleasant little park with the remains of these alignements in it.
The stones are of all shapes and sizes, up to 4 metres tall. There's a lovely curved "sharks fin" in front of me as I sat and wrote this, and a diamond to my right. These stones are wonderful, and its lovely to be able to just sit amongst them.

Ménec alignements submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Ménec alignements, north of Carnac, Brittany, France.
View of the Ménec alignements as they were in summer 1987, when you could walk amongst them before they were fenced off, and with an awful lot of erosion going on around them.

Log Text: First visit after 30 years. Its all more slick now with the visitor centre ( which a tually has very little about the stones, their layout etc. I understood more about the cromlechs - semi circular stone circles at the end of the sets of rows - theres some remaining evidence of them. But would be great to have an idea of how they looked.

Menec cromlech submitted by postman on 29th Dec 2012. Peering nosily into some jammy beggers back yard. Fancy having something like this in your back yard, its a bit like being into Star Wars and getting a penthouse suite on Coruscant.

Ménec cromlech submitted by AlexHunger on 20th Dec 2004. The Cromlec de Menec marks the westernmost extent of the Carnac Allignments. It basically starts on the road that separates it from the allignments, goes through a private garden, through the end of the village and ends in a creperie.
