Alignement de Crozon, Stone row in Crozon, France
Alignement de Crozon is a row of standing stones arranged in a straight line across the northern Breton landscape. The stones rise from the ground at regular intervals, forming a linear formation that stretches across the terrain.
The stone row dates to prehistoric times and is part of a broader megalithic tradition found throughout Brittany. The site gained official protection status as a registered historic monument in 1980.
These standing stones represent ancient engineering methods and provide evidence of prehistoric ceremonial practices in northwestern France.
The site is freely accessible year-round with no entrance fees or reservations required. Wear sturdy footwear since the terrain is uneven and the stones are scattered across an open landscape.
The alignment of the stones corresponds with specific compass directions and celestial markers. This suggests the builders may have tracked the movements of stars and sun across the seasons.
