Les Alignements de Carnac, situés dans le Morbihan en France, sont un ensemble impressionnant de menhirs en granit datant de la Préhistoire.

Ces alignements, composés de plus de 3000 pierres dressées sur plusieurs kilomètres, demeurent une énigme quant à leur origine et leur signification. Certains pensent qu'ils servaient à des fins religieuses ou astronomiques, tandis que d'autres évoquent des légendes de soldats romains pétrifiés ou de trésors cachés. Leur mystère et leur aura en font un site fascinant et mystique, attirant les visiteurs du monde entier pour découvrir ce patrimoine ancien.
