Saint-Michel tumulus near Carnac.

This huge tumulus, 400m northeast of the Carnac-Ville tourist office, and accessed off the D781 at the end of chemin du Tumulus (itself off rue du Tumulus), is a gigantic burial mound with a church on top. It dates back to at least 5000 BC and offers sweeping views (exterior access only).
