Guide to the Menhirs and other Megaliths of Central Brittany
The Brittany region of France is densely covered with the remains of our ancient past. The megaliths – standing stones, dolmens and passage graves – of the prehistoric, neolithic period remain stubbornly mysterious yet (or perhaps because of that) endlessly fascinating.
The large alignments of Carnac are what people normally associate with Brittany megaliths. Yet other areas of the region offer relics just as capable of firing the imagination. Central Brittany, for example, has boasts the world’s tallest menhirs, largest dolmen, largest collection of standing stones and the largest cairn
Samuel Lewis lives and works in Central Brittany. He writes the ‘Megalith Diary’ column in the Central Brittany Journal and knows the area’s megalithic monuments intimately.
His book, Guide to the Menhirs and other Megaliths of Central Brittany, provides detailed information on more than 50 sites, including maps and the history and folklore associated with each location.
The guide is available in a print edition for just €5, or as a free e-book edition in PDF format.
