Le tumulus Saint Michel est un bel endroit à Carnac, il y a un vaste parking mais il n'est pas toujours bien indiqué sur les panneaux. Du haut du Tumulus, on a une belle vue sur les environs, avec une table d'orientation qui aide à se repérer. Malheureusement, ni l'église, ni l'intérieur du Tumulus n'étaient visitables lors de notre venue.

Le tumulus de St Michel nous a été conseillé par l'office du tourisme de Carnac. On a beaucoup aimé la visite de ce tumulus qui est impressionnant. Depuis le haut du tumulus se trouve une chapelle qui était lors de notre passage fermé ainsi les galeries souterraines. Mais se trouve également une table d'orientation avec une vue incroyable sur la région de Carnac et ses environs. Par beau temps comme ce fut le cas, on apercevoir la pointe de Belle Ile, et les autres îles du golf jusqu'à la presqu'île de Quiberon.

Interesting guided tour of the interior of a tumulus well-preserved, ideal for completed a day after visiting alignments. A small and very friendly chapel to the top and prime is in a lovely view on Carnac.
