Stone megaliths, a picnic and a trampoline

Carnac, France.

Carnac is the home to over a thousand stone megaliths that are put in long rows according to size in an area that stretches over two and a half miles. No one knows who placed these stones, where the stones came from, or how they were carried. Jack thinks that they used a chisel and men to get the rocks from underneath the ocean. There is a legend that says that these stones are Roman soldiers that were turned into stone while fighting the Gallois soldiers of France.

We enjoyed a rare sunny day while exploring the mysteries of Carnac.

Stacked stones like these tend to be burial places or tombs.

After exploring Carnac, we went to the beach for a picnic at Trinity sur mer. Jack found a baby crab and Kate found a seashell ring. We all enjoyed baguette and pâté with our friends Marie-Andree and Claude while we watched people dig in the tide pools and relax in the sun.

Kate back "home" in Damgan jumping on a bungee cord trampoline to wrap up another fantastic day!
