Carnac
【City description】
It’s a small seaside town. But when you visit the inland town, you’ll find uncountable stones put in row in the field. Although we think that it was made in the prehistoric age, we haven’t understood yet. Because it is far from the town, you should take a tram which runs between April and September. If you visit the other season, you rent a car. In addition, the thalassotherapy is famous in this town.
