| Wow! From Duarnenez follow the D7 west, looking for a right hand turn that almost goes back on itself, signposted from there. There is quite a large parking area next to the path that leads to the woods, about 50 yards distant is the information board, you can see the front section of the Arc Boutee from here 20 yards away. Wow! This is another place Moth and Jane made me go to, just one look at it and I knew that the next time I get the chance I'm definitely going there. As far as the kids were concerned we were going to a big aquarium today, but of course I could squeeze in a couple of burial chambers and a couple of menhirs too. It was fairly early in the morning and my two little bundles of joy were sleepy in the car so I had the place to my self. Wow! They're just bonkers in Brittany aren't they, you don't get stuff like this at home, not even close. The early morning sun filtered through the canopy above, a few birds were singing but it was otherwise silent, it doesn't get much more perfect. The stones were slightly bigger than I was expecting, there was enough room to actually get in and shuffle along the passage on your haunches. There are also many other stones scattered around, but I only went about fifty yards away. I love it, the improbable way it's all put together, the kerb stones pointing away from the passage make it have a W appearance head on. It is just so absurd and fantastic. Wow! If you are in the area, or even if your not, we weren't, make this a must see, it is a delight to behold. I cant understand why Castel Rufel is more famous |

| You have to imagine the wow being that of a child when seeing a real life transformer, or something. |
