The site best known to outsiders is Carnac, where remains of a dozen rows of huge standing stones run for over ten kilometers. Some of its ruins have been dated to at least 3300 BC—200 years older than England's Stonehenge.
Morbihan is a département in the northwest of France named after the Morbihan (small sea in Breton), the enclosed sea that is the principal feature of the coastline.
Morbihan was one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790.
Morbihan is part of the current région of Bretagne and is surrounded by the departments of Finistère, Côte-d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Loire-Atlantique, and the Atlantic Ocean on the southwest.
