Standing stones, Carnac
Overview: One of Brittany's most modern and happening holiday resorts is, ironically, alongside one of Europe's most important, ancient and mysterious archaeological sites at Carnac on the south coast of Brittany, in the Bay of Biscay. Just north of the seaside town hundreds of massive standing stones, even older than Stonehenge or the pyramids of Egypt, are aligned in rows in a field, their original purpose unknown. The nearby Musée de Préhistoire complements these fascinating relics with displays of collections dating as far back as 450,000 BC. The family resort of Carnac Plage is bright and breezy, sporting a sand-duned peninsula, a lovely stretch of beach, plenty of entertainment and fun in the sun facilities.
