Log Text: A beautiful walk through the pine forest, and then a bit of a scramble down to the beach. The causeway to the island is only open at low tide, which is also when the site is most visible.

Log Text: Unfortunately the only tour that fit our schedule was in French, which was a struggle, but the guide was passionate, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Kudos to Manon! Not to be missed if you are in the Carnac area.

Log Text: In the summer of 2020 there are two options for tours to Gavinis, one that comes straight back to the pier, and one that takes a little detour past Er Lannic. Make sure if you are coming to the cairn that you also get the chance to see this site as well.

Botlann dolmen submitted by minteddy on 12th Sep 2008. I assume this has been heavily restored to produce such a flat cap stone. What other dolmen look so slim?

Log Text: The brush has grown up around the dolmen, fortunately mainly broom and no gorse, so it is still fairly easy to access. The surrounding greenery does add to the feeling of isolation, in spite of the highway close by.
