The first museum in the world for megalithism, the Museum of Prehistory of Carnac is the essential prelude to visiting the surrounding dolmens and menhirs. Do not miss the large axes in Alpine jade, the polished ornaments imported from Spain… so many prestigious objects, witnesses of the time when Carnac was a great European center of power and wealth, at the beginning of the 5th millennium BC.
