Carnac Stones France Travel Postcard

Carnac Stones France Travel Postcard

Stretching across the windswept moorlands of Brittany, the Carnac Stones form one of the most impressive and enigmatic Neolithic monuments in the world. More than 3,000 standing menhirs—some reaching over four metres in height—rise in precise parallel rows that curve gently with the contours of the land. At dawn, their silhouettes cut dramatic profiles against the rosy sky, and a soft, bracing breeze carries the scent of heather and gorse across the ancient field. Underfoot, the ground is carpeted with low grasses and wildflowers that bloom in season, their delicate colours standing in stark contrast to the austere geometry of the stones. Visitors often pause in hushed reverence, sensing the weight of millennia in the silent, stony sentinels before them. Scholars date the major alignments—Ménec, Kermario, and Kerlescan—to between 4500 and 3300 BCE, yet their purpose remains a tantalising mystery. Some researchers suggest ritual processions winding among the stones; others see celestial alignments marking solstices or equinoxes. Local legend weaves its own spell, claiming the stones were once Roman legionaries petrified by Merlin’s magic, forever frozen in formation. Nearby, a small interpretive centre invites exploration of the site’s archaeological discoveries—axes, pottery shards, and burial cairns unearthed during 19th-century excavations. As twilight descends, the stones take on a luminous quality, their weathered surfaces glowing softly in the golden hour, and one can’t help but feel linked to a silent procession of ancient peoples who once wove their own stories among these enduring monoliths.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
