Locmariaquer Megalithic Complex Ticket
Situated along the Atlantic coastline, the Locmariaquer Megalithic Complex stands as a key archaeological treasure in Brittany.
This expansive site traces its origins back to the Neolithic era, spanning from 4500 to 2500 BC, a time marked by humanity's transition to settled lifestyles focused on farming and animal husbandry.
Among the remarkable features of the Locmariaquer complex are its immense megaliths, particularly the Er Grah Menhir, renowned for its status as the largest stone monolith in Europe. Although it has been damaged over time, this impressive structure originally measured 65 feet (20 metres) in length at the time of its erection around 4500 BC.
