Carnac town lies at the mainland end of the Quiberon peninsula, an extremely pleasant little place with a nice sandy beach and a promenade. The area lends itself to camping and mobile home holidays, and indeed, there are quite a few sites for just that in the immediate area. This is a place that is safe for families with small children too.

You may or may not be into sightseeing; you may or may not have a sense of history when you come across something old, but you simply cannot fail to be overawed when you see even a fraction of the Alignments (standing stones), or Megaliths very near to Carnac. There are thousands of them and nobody is 100% sure why they were placed there, or even who actually placed them there, but certainly they have been in place for several thousand years.

Like lots of holiday towns these days, Carnac has a small train which takes you round the town and all the bits and pieces of interest in the immediate area, and it is impossible to miss some of the Alignments (standing stones) on this trip. Of course you can hop off at any of ther stops, and back on again at a stop when the train comes round again. It doesn't cost much but a ride on this little train will show you so much that you may have missed seeing on your own. The nearby town of la Trinite sur Mer is also worth a visit while you're in the area.

We have a great campsite available to book in Carnac, Camping Les Menhirs. Camping Les Menhirs is an excellent choice for a lively family beach holiday. The focus of the park is the pool complex, with a giant waterslide and waterchute and even a minislide for the children's pool. There is also a covered pool and a bar and entertainment room where the parc organise discos for all the family.
