Guennoc island, Protected islet near Landéda, France

The small island stretches nearly 400 meters in length, featuring steep cliffs and multiple archaeological structures along its central ridge.

Archaeological excavations in the 1960s revealed continuous human occupation spanning 10,000 years, from Paleolithic times through the Middle Ages.

Four megalithic cairns distributed across the island contain ancient burial chambers that date back to 4,600 BCE, ranking among Europe's earliest monuments.

Access to the island depends on tide conditions, with visitors recommended to check local schedules and obtain necessary permissions before planning their visit.

The island contains evidence of Gaulish settlements, including stone fortifications and agricultural traces preserved on its eastern slopes.
