Log Text: Lots of very interesting and important prehistoric artifacts, but it is very hard to find specific items due the the organization of the floors. They are laid out according to a curator's whim of what "theme" the artifact falls unter, rather than chronological. There were carved stone balls in at least two rooms (and I never found the one I was looking for), and hand axes in three different rooms.

Log Text: I noticed that these rather unassuming menhirs were on a website for Brittany tourism, so we decided to check them out as they were on our route. While they are nice, it is a bit of a mystery why the website would chose this site as one of about. five megalithic sites in all of Brittany to be featured.
