Ride through undergrowth to standing stones older than memory.

• Visit tumulus St Michel viewpoint
• Ride Segway to Kermario menhirs

The experience

The ride starts at Tumulus St Michel, the highest point in Carnac. From there the view opens to 50 kilometers across the landscape. The geography itself becomes part of the story. Your guide, speaking English or French, weaves in legends and anecdotes about the region as you move through the terrain, so the history is not something you learn after the fact but something that unfolds as you stand in front of it.

Most of the route runs on paths through undergrowth and forest, not on roads. The Segway handles the uneven ground, and the pace lets you take in both the menhirs of Kermario (some of the largest megalithic sites in the world), and the forest around them. The combination of nature and ancient stone is the point: you are not riding past monuments, you are riding through the landscape that contains them.

The whole tour runs 1.5 hours, which is long enough to reach both sites and hear the stories that tie them together, but short enough to fit into a morning or afternoon without eating the rest of your day. Children are welcome from age 12, and the guide adjusts the pace and detail to the group.
