Carnac or Bust camping tour

The 5000 year old standing stone alignment is probably the most famous stone age monument in France and in Europe rivalled only by Stonehenge. However to give the impression that this is the main reason to choose this route would be false - because the route to and from the coast is one of the best we offer. Rewritten last year it involves some serious lane navigation, which almost by magic brings you to the coast. You don't camp at Carnac (though of course being a camping route you can modify it if you want) but rather at the much smaller village of Erdeven. The reason is that it keeps you out of the tourist traps and leads directly to the longest beaches in Brittany - 20 kms of golden sands with rock pools, old German fortifications and nearby fishing villages for variety. This is also a very flexible route - you can run the last two days together to pinch and extra day, there are several other campsites en-route and so you can make it up as you go along if you wish:-)

Average mileage 22 mpd, maximum 32 or 27 miles - Our most flexible route as there are several options when it comes to campsites. At it’s easiest there are very easy first few days, a little more difficult last three days, the alternatives are harder but give more time on the coast.
