Printed monochrome postcard showing the Alignements de Kermario at Carnac in Morbihan, Breizh. Published by Laurent-Nel of Rennes, № 3039. Postally unused, but is c.1910s.

A vintage printed postcard of the Alignements de Kermario, a series of rows of standing stones or menhirs near Carnac in Brittany. The rows of stones lead off into the distance and a much larger menhir, the Géant de Kermario, is at the front left. A young woman in traditional Breton costume stands beside it on a rough path. Four lines from Botrel's La Bonne Chanson is at the top right, and reads: "Là -bas, près de la dune, Dans les ajoncs bretons, La nuit au clair de lune, Les Korrigans dansent en rond.", roughly translated as "Over there, near the dune, In the Breton gorse, At night in the moonlight, The Korrigans dance in a circle."

A sepia real photographic postcard showing the Dolmen de Crucuno at Plouharnel-Carnac in Breizh. Published by Laurent-Nel of Rennes, № 1570. Postally used in 1933. #Carnac #Plouharnel #Breizh #Dolmens #CartesPostalesAnciennes #Postcards #StandingStoneSunday

A vintage photographic postcard showing a group of children standing in front of the Dolmen de Crucuno in the hamlet of Crucuno by Plouharnel near Carnac in Morbihan, Brittany. Postally used in 1933, but the photo is from about the turn of the century. I have a printed version of the exact same view posted in 1907, though that one shows a cottage butting up to the right side of the monument. This photographic version has been altered to remove the cottage, though the two stones at the bottom of the front wall of the cottage can still be seen at the centre of the right edge.

One of the pillar stones at the Kercado passage-mound, near Carnac in France. In the background looms a giant concrete water tower: the ancient and the modern in an uneasy truce.

A short standing stone or pillar stone near the entrance to the passage mound of Kercado in France. It stands in the dappled shade of a tall tree, while in the background is a huge water tower of white concrete, partially hidden by the tree’s branches.

A decade-old pic from #Carnac in #France taken in January 2014. I remember being surprised, and a little disappointed, at how small the stones are until I realised just how many of them exist!

A view of rows of standing stones at Carnac in Western France. The stones are weathered grey in colour, standing vertically from mostly brown ground, albeit with Tufts of green grass and a few little yellow flowers.

The Alignments of Carnac ♡

One of the most fascinating places I know. The world's largest collection of standing stones, built thousands of years ago for reasons unknown ...

These photos are ten years old and I'd so love to visit Brittany again.

(Cute cat content included!)

Le soleil tombe sur deux pierres des alignements du Petit Ménec. À l'extrémité orientale des alignements de Carnac (et sur la commune voisine de La Trinité-sur-Mer), le Petit Ménec est un ensemble d'alignements qui court dans un sous-bois, souvent à moitié inondé. Il reste librement accessible.

Deux petits menhirs des alignements du Petit Ménec. Le soleil décline. Des arbres poussent à droite et à gauche car les alignements sont en plein bois. Derrière : un muret de pierres sèches et, encore derrière, un pré vraisemblablement cultivé.
