I think Carnac is openly accessible outside of peak season. I still think climbing on them is frowned upon though.

Of course it may be that certain recumbent stones (not thinking Carnac here just generalising) or dolmens were meant to be stood on during 'ceremonies' but of course that's a different matter entirely.

I didn't know that Goff, thanks for mentioning.

I've not been now for about two and half years (longest gap ever), but last I heard /some/ of Carnacs main alignements were open in the off season. I've never seen the Kermario alignements open and the three main sites are fully closed from about Easter-late October.
That said, it should never put anyone off visiting as there are literally hundreds of fully accessible, well preseverved and virtually unvisited sites in the area.

One day I'll write my book...
