Bel endroit
Nous n'avons pas pu malheureusement visiter la chapelle mais la vue est splendide et la table d'orientation est un repère intéressant.
Tres bel endroit facile à atteindre.

Beau point de vue depuis le Tumulus Saint-Michel
La butte de terre et cailloux est spectaculaire mais c'est surtout le point de vue qui est magnifique depuis le sommet par beau temps. La table d'orientation permet de situer les divers endroits aperçus. Une chapelle et une croix de granit sculptée complètent les lieux.

Ce tumulus est d'une telle beauté et chargé d'histoire ! Nous n'avons pas pu le visiter malheureusement mais nous sommes montés sur le point culminant et avons été ravis du beau point de vue sur Carnac. Que cette région est chargée d'histoire !
