Kerlescan Alignements
Date Added: 24th Jul 2020
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 17th Jul 2020. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 5
Kerlescan Alignements submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Kerlescan Alignements, northeast of Carnac, Brittany.
This picture was taken looking east in 1987, when wandering amongst the stones was OK. I think many of them have been fenced off to try and combat erosion these days. I must go back sometime.

Log Text: Our first view of the Carnac alignments came upon us as somewhat of a surprise. We were coming in from the east, and had put the Kerlescan dolmen in the GPS, so were not thinking alignments at that moment. What a wonderful and breathtaking "surprise"!

Kermario Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2004. Kermario Dolmen, north of Carnac, Brittany.
View of the Kermario Dolmen which is right at the southwest corner of the Kermario Alignements, and right in the corner of the road which skirts the site.
This picture was taken in 1987 when people were free to wander amongst the stones as they pleased. The terrible erosion caused by all the visitors is only too obvious.

You can still walk among the stones at Kerzerho (in 2002 at east) which are near Carnac but not quite so busy. Head up the D781 to Erdeven. You can park nearby, and from there you can also take the path to the large stones of the Table du Sacrifice

Log Text: Possibly the best site we visited during our days in the Carnac area. To be able to walk among the stones is amazing, and the connection with the Giants is a nice bonus. The piles of stones pushed aside to make the road bear interesting witness to another side of this area as well.

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

Mané Roullarde submitted by TheCaptain on 10th Nov 2007. The remains of this monument are to be found on a hilltop site overlooking the yachting and seaside town of La Trinité-sur-Mer, now surrounded by expensive looking flats.

Log Text: One could probably drive to the top of the hill and park by the monument, despite the street being signposted as a private road. Once there the fencing only allows you to see the monument from one end.

Log Text: When first viewed, this would seem to be a fairly ordinary site for the area, but the condition of the eastern grave makes this one of the highlights of the entire Carnac area. My daughter declared this to be her second favorite megalithic site of the hundreds we have visited, which is high praise!

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.
