Forty small menhirs located near the famous alignments of Carnac (Morbihan, west of the France) were recently destroyed to allow the construction of a store. The alert was given Friday, June 2 by an amateur archaeologist in a blog post revealed by the regional daily Ouest-France.
An association for the defense of heritage, Koun Breizh ("Breton Memory", in Breton), filed a complaint against X. The association Paysages des Mégalithes de Carnac et du Sud Bretagne intends to register the vast set of menhir in the south of the department as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
