Kermario alignments
Kermario alignments, Megalithic site in Carnac, France.
The Kermario stone alignment consists of 982 standing stones arranged in ten parallel rows extending over 1100 meters through the Brittany landscape.
The stones were erected during the Neolithic period between 4500 and 3300 BCE, making them among the oldest human constructions in Europe.
These stone rows demonstrate the engineering capabilities of Neolithic societies who quarried, transported, and positioned massive granite blocks without metal tools.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours from the interpretation center, located 1.5 kilometers northeast of Carnac town center.
The height of the menhirs gradually decreases from west to east, creating a monumental perspective that extends for more than a kilometer.
