Alignement de Lagatjar, Prehistoric stone row in Camaret-sur-Mer, France

The Lagatjar Alignments consist of 87 standing stones arranged in parallel rows, with the tallest menhirs reaching three meters in height.

Originally containing 700 menhirs in the 18th century, the Lagatjar Alignments received official protection as a historical monument in 1883.

The stone alignments represent the engineering capabilities and ritual practices of prehistoric societies that inhabited the Brittany region thousands of years ago.

The archaeological site remains accessible throughout the year without entrance fees, with directional signs leading visitors from the Pen Hir point.

During the 1930s, the ancient megalithic site served multiple unexpected purposes, including use as a football field and camping ground.
