Carnac is a small village in southern Brittany with more than 3000 prehistoric standing stones. The Carnac Stones were erected during the Neolithic period which lasted 4500 BC to 2000 BC. It's difficult to date, but most were thought to be erected around 3300 BC. Their original purpose remains obscure.
Besides the famous alignments, parallel rows of menhirs (standing stones) stretching more than one kilometer, there were many other Megalithic sites around the area, such as dolmen, which were used as burial chambers. I hadn't even heard of Carnac but those sites were quite awe-inspiring.
