SIGHTSEEING
  • The important megalithic alignments Lampouy (Sensitive Natural Area County) testifies to the civilization of our ancestors of prehistory: 48 large blocks of quartz (classified MH) arranged on five different lanes occupy the site of 9 hectares acquired 2003 by the General Council of Ille-et-Vilaine. The isolated menhir of La Roche Carree (cut into rectangular pyramid) marks the beginning of the 5 alignments, and has the distinction of directing the edges toward the cardinal points. Prehistory educational workshops are offered by the service station Médréac (Tourism and Heritage: tel: +33 2 99 07 30 48).
