The single standing stones (menhirs) and multistone clusters (dolmens) were hewn from local granite, now worn by time and weather and covered with white lichen.

The historical province of Brittany was split between two modern-day régions of France. 80% of Brittany has become the région of Bretagne, while the remaining 20% of Brittany (Loire-Atlantique département with its préfecture Nantes, one of the former capitals of the duchy of Brittany) has been grouped with other historical provinces (Anjou, Maine, and so on) to create the région of Pays-de-la-Loire (that is "lands of the Loire"). For the reasons behind the splitting-up of Brittany, and the current debate regarding reunification, see the Bretagne article.

There's plenty to do in Brittany, many picturesque medieval towns, castles, rivers and lakes and the beautiful coastline to explore. The most lasting impression of holidays in Brittany for most people is the wild and rugged coast, over 750 miles (one third of Frances overall coastline) of stunning sandy bays and rocky coves dotted with historic towns and charming fishing ports, offering the oppertunity of fishing, relaxing and every conceivable water sport.
