I'll not write much coz I bet Mark'll be along soon, rendering owt I say pointless....

But in the meantime - how long're you there (are you staying at/near Carnac?) & I'll give it some thought in case Mark doesn't turn up!

I've been to Carnac 3 (or is it 4?) times and have never been there when the main alignements are open, but I think the situation changes with such regularity that that doesn't necessarily mean owt....

Leaving aside the main alignements, the big recommendations I'd make right now are getting down to the Grand Menhir Brise & the other cool stuff in Locmariaquer, and - even if you're only there for a very short while, if you even vaguely possibly can MAKE SURE you get over on the boat to Gavrinis!

Here are J's blogs:

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/36627/weblog/ - mainly Locmariaquer

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/36663/weblog/ - all over the bloody place coz we had Spaceship Mark to guide us quickly & efficiently

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/37318/weblog/ Quiberon & a bit to the west of Carnac

And my blog (just outside Carnac) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/37386/weblog/ - it's a nice walk thru the woods (or would've been if it hadn't been pissing down!)

A bit further afield there's a couple by J - La Roche aux Fees http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/36903/weblog/ and

St Just http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/36904/weblog/

Also north Brittany by J http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/36863/weblog/

Unfortunately these were all done before the TMA site went pan-European, so there are no useful links to site pages.

I know that thanks to helpful folk who actually get around to adding stuff (unlike me nowadays) there's loads of stuff in the Brittany section http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9879/brittany.html & the bit around Carnac is here http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9879/brittany.html

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/celynog/Brittany/carnac.htm - there's a book written in the late 70's by a couple that's very good, but I can't remember either its title or the authors' name. There's a copy in Bolton library, if that helps.
