		<description><![CDATA[There is a certain frisson that comes from being in the presence of antiquity. Standing by a menhir, or gazing on an ancient relic, connects us with the past. But from where does this excitement originate? It can&#8217;t be a purely aesthetic buzz. Certainly, we may find beauty in the artefacts of the past. Yet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We hadn&#8217;t intended to visit Le Petit Ménec &#8211; and that would have been a huge mistake. Most of the guide books, if they mention it at all, treat it as the least important of the Carnac alignments. Then we bought the Michelin guide to Brittany. A quick aside here about guide books. It&#8217;s terribly [...]]]></description>

Oh well&#8230; We started early with a drive to Locmariaquer, situated on a small peninsula that frames the west side of the Gulf of Morbihan.

		<description><![CDATA[Things weren&#8217;t going well. Here&#8217;s a technical tip for you: if you decide to take your desktop Mac with you on holiday, and opt for the cordless keyboard and mouse, first check that you haven&#8217;t switched off Bluetooth. Logging into a Mac without a keyboard is problematic. I won&#8217;t bore you with the details, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a few weeks after deciding to embark on this project I found myself at ground zero for megaliths. Carnac. We like to holiday in Brittany during autumn or winter. On a previous visit, we mooted the idea of driving up to Carnac, but were too busy.  It was a disappointment as visiting the alignments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s about time I photographed this standing stone. Not only is it just down the road, within easy walking distance, it&#8217;s also on land owned by friends of ours &#8211; so we&#8217;ve passed it many times. The menhir is clearly signposted from the village. You crest a hill with, to the north, a small ancient-looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve lost count of how many times I looked at the sign and thought, &#8220;I must take a look one day&#8221;. Then the sign disappeared. It wasn&#8217;t much of a sign, to be sure. Crudely painted, it gave the impression the menhir was the kind of tourist attraction you might find on Craggy Island or [...]]]></description>
