Camping Côté Ô Le Rosnual Carnac

Menhirs, forests, festivals, family attractions… this part of Brittany has the lot. Set off for Carnac for a look at the 3,000 or so standing stones here and a potter around the Museum of Prehistory which tells the stony tale. Then (or first, if the kids have anything to do with it), laze around the five beaches of Carnac – La Grande-Plage, Légenèse, Ty Bihan, Beaumer and Saint Colomban – which surely means one for each day…? Other options recommended by the site team include more megalithic structures at Kermario, five minutes’ drive away; the summer night market in Carnac, and the zoo and botanical gardens at Branféré (50 minutes). The tree climbing park Adrénaline Forest has 18 adventure courses and three course nets, with activities for ages two and up.
