Gavrinis, Passage tomb on Gavrinis Island, Gulf of Morbihan, France.
The megalithic tomb features 29 stone slabs forming a 14-meter passage, with 23 slabs containing detailed geometric carvings and patterns.
Built between 4200 and 4000 BCE during the Neolithic period, the passage tomb remained in use until 3000 BCE when its entrance was sealed.
The decorated stones display intricate patterns of axes, staffs, and geometric designs that represent the artistic capabilities of Neolithic societies.
Access to the island requires a 15-minute boat journey from Larmor-Baden, with guided tours lasting approximately one and a half hours.
The cairn structure measures 50 meters in diameter and contains a central chamber covered by a 17-ton ceiling slab.
