New guide to Central Brittany’s megaliths
A new guide to the megaliths of Central Brittany
There’s a handy new guide to the menhirs and other megaliths of Central Brittany – an area often overlooked by those who head straight for the rich pickings of Carnac.
The Guide to the Menhirs and other Megaliths of Central Brittany, by Samuel Lewis, does just what it says on the cover: it provides you with a comprehensive listing of these important monuments, among them the largest menhirs that Brittany – indeed, France – has to offer.
Lewis knows his subject. He lives and works in the region and has had a passion for these megaliths spanning many years.
The guide is heavily illustrated, and as well as information on each megalith you get some useful background to the region and the age in which these monuments were created. The guide is also printed in a handy format that fits equally well in pocket or glove compartment.
You can download the book as a PDF, but as it costs just €5.00, buying a printed version is going to be far more convenient for those field trips in Brittany.
