Île aux Moines

One of France's largest megalithic semicircles: 24 stones raised 5,000 years ago now embrace the hamlet's gardens and houses.

At the island's tip, this 4,500-year-old dolmen watches the gulf between pines and gorse — one of Morbihan's loveliest Neolithic sites.

Deep-sea captains' houses, camellias and mimosas, Saint-Michel church overlooking the gulf: the village tells the maritime golden age of the 'monks' island', granted to Redon abbey in 854.
