Carnac is quite a small town in Southern Brittany, and is world famous for the long rows of standing stones which stretch over a mile north of it. There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of them just standing there and they may have been there for several thousand years and nobody quite knows why. They are a magnificent site and once you are there you can take advantage of a guided tour which takes you right up to the stones where you can walk around them. Other than that you can do what we did and observe them from the roadside because I had forgotten to take any money with me that day - or not enough to do the stones and have a ride around the town in one of those mini trains, and the trains won.
We loved Carnac and thought it a shame that we were only there for the day; next time we will stay with Matthews France with whom we have holidayed before at St Jean de Monts. We believe that if you have had a great holiday with one company then it makes sense to stick with them because you know the standard. Matthews have a mobile homes on Camping des Menhirs, and here's part of what they have to say about the site and the area:-
"Camping des Menhirs is a delightful campsite situated within easy walking distance of the main beach, bars, shops and the restaurants of Carnac Plage. This site is uniquely placed for an evening stroll to a local bar or restaurant.
This is a well laid out, mature campsite, the interior being interspersed with plenty of trees and shrubs. There are plenty of facilities for children of all ages. From early July through to late August the campsite organises on-site daytime activities and in the evenings, barbecues, discos, quiz nights, etc...."
