Port Blanc is the Port of Baden, based in front of the Monks Island in the famous Gulf of Morbihan. The Gulf gave the region its name: Mor-Bihan means "little sea" in the Breton language. The gulf, which extends into the Bay of Quiberon, is one of South Brittany's emblematic locations. It is also a member of the "Club of The Most Beautiful Bays in the World", like the bays of Hạ Long in Viet Nam and San Francisco in the United States.

Megalithic alignments from Carnac in France"r"n

The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the French village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre/proto Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC. Shot with Canon EOS 5D. Horizontal format.
