Tour 03 - Ménéac Markers Tour

The Ménéac Markers.

Adult prices from 44€ per person (based on a group of nine adult guests booking as a single party)
 
PLEASE NOTE : OWING TO RECENT STORM DAMAGE ACCESS TO SOME OF THE SITES ON THIS TOUR IS NOT CURRENTLY POSSIBLE. THIS TOUR IS THEREFORE SUSPENDED FOR THE TIME BEING.
I WILL RESUME THIS TOUR AS SOON AS IS POSSIBLE.

Ménéac is a small village roughly in the centre of Brittany. Often ignored by visitors to Brittany we will show you some of Ménéac's amazing secrets. 
 
For this tour we will meet in the centre of Ménéac in order to approach our first site from the west. The tour will take up to two and half hours in which you will see four extant neolithic sites (mostly menhirs) and a probable fifth that has fallen. We believe that these five menhirs were intended as way-markers to a far away site you will learn more about as the tour progresses.
 
Although only a short tour, this is one for the agile as there are some steep slopes and numerous slip and trip hazards. We would stress that this tour is taken entirely at your own risk. Having said that, your guide's arthritic knee has not proved to be a barrier to enjoying these sites. We do, however, recommend sturdy walking boots.
 
This tour will give us the opportunity to discuss what motivated ancient people to locate some of their monuments where they did, and how they may have understood their place in the landscape. The photo below shows the approach to the first site on this tour which is unforgettable for its sheer WOW factor!
 
Prices and Bookings:- (prices effective from 1st October 2023)
A single guest or couple will pay 55€ per person

Parties of three to five guests pay 49,50€ per person (i.e. 10% discount).

For parties of six to nine guests the price is 44€ per person (i.e. 20% discount).

PRIVATE GROUP (i.e. no other guests can join your tour) - 480€ (maximum of 9 guests)


This tour makes an ideal introduction to some of Brittany's "off the beaten track" archaeological gems. To make your booking enquiry please use the contact form at the foot of the navigation menu. 
I recommend starting at around 11:00 and rounding off your tour in the little village of La Trinite-Porhoet.

This tour is not suitable for guests who require the use of a wheelchair or other mobility aids. 
 

If you would like to take a longer tour in this area why not combine this with the Guerlédan Heights tour? Taken together these tours will provide a full day out during which you could enjoy a picnic lunch or visit a local restaurant. Contact me for more details and a combined price for both tours.

Hello, I'm Philip.  Welcome to TimeTrails in Brittany. I've been running TimeTrails in Brittany tours since 2021 and, with each year that passes, the tours are becoming more and more popular with English-speaking visitors from all over the world. I have had a passion for the archaeology of the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age since my childhood and I have finally been able to set up home in the heart of one of Europe's richest archaeological landscapes.TimeTrials in Brittany tours are about sharing just a few of these landscapes with you and helping you to look at them through the eyes of an archaeologist. Since starting time trails I've now increased the number of different tour itineraries to six and I'm always looking out for new and exciting tours to add.  To find out more about my tours, simply select each one from the navigation menu. You'll find it on the left hand side if you're reading this on a PC, Mac or Laptop. On a mobile phone, look for the three...
