Carnac: Mysteries of stone, gentleness of the Ria
Skip the crowds, live the essentials
Just 15 minutes from the famous alignments, Le Moulin des Oies in Belz is Carnac lovers' best-kept secret. Why crowd into a seaside resort when you can savour the purity of the Ria d'Étel after a day of exploration?
“Direct access to the menhirs: 14 km of pure pleasure between land and sea.”
Your sacred itinerary
Forget the classic guides, here's how we experience Carnac from Belz. Start with the awakening of the Giants: head to the Ménec Alignments at dawn. It's the hour when mist surrounds the 3,000 menhirs, offering a unique mystical atmosphere.
Must-sees during your stay:
- L'Anse du Pô: A gourmet stop with oyster farmers facing Quiberon bay.
- Tumulus St-Michel: Climb up for a sweeping view of the coastline.
- Saint-Colomban: For board enthusiasts and windsurfing spots.
The salt of life: beaches and relaxation
From the Grande Plage of Carnac to more secret coves, the ocean is your playground. After the bustle of marine fashion boutiques and ice-cream parlours, return to the quiet of our natural seawater pool in Belz for a swim under the stars.
Carnac in spring: a unique experience
Spring is without doubt the most beautiful season to discover Carnac. From April, enjoy the Carnac alignments without the summer crowd — guided tours are available from Easter to explore the megaliths in a peaceful atmosphere. On Sunday morning, the Carnac market is in full swing, much quieter than in summer, ideal to wander between stalls of local produce and Breton crafts.
The fine sand beaches of Carnac are almost deserted in April-May: a rare privilege for those who love walks with feet in the water. And for a wellness break, the Carnac-Quiberon Thalasso opens its doors for a moment of rejuvenation facing the ocean. Discover all the reasons to camp in Brittany in spring.
Did you know?
The name “Carnac” comes from the Breton “Karn”, meaning “pile of stones”. But staying here is also about discovering an exceptional micro-climate.
By choosing Belz as your back base, you enjoy the Yacht Club and the Thalasso of Carnac in 15 minutes flat, while benefiting from gentler rates and more spacious pitches in the heart of greenery.
