Time Trails in Brittany - Sentiers du Temps

It's all about the questions on one of my tours. The more questions you ask, the better!

Timetrails is run by a qualified archaeologist who gives guided, self-drive tours of many ancient and mysterious sites in central Brittany. All tours are conducted in English and they focus on sites dating from the Neolithic (New Stone Age) and Bronze Age. Depending on the tours you chose, you will visit Menhirs (standing stones), Cromlechs (stone circles) and several types of ancient burial monument known collectively as Dolmens. Your guide will explain about the lives of people in Brittany up to 6,000 years ago, highlighting their ingenuity and skill as they constructed monuments which demonstrate a deep understanding of engineering, the land, the seasons and the skies above them. At some sites you'll see enigmatic carvings which tempt us to speculate on the beliefs of prehistoric communities and you'll be amazed at some of their achievements. These tours are a unique experience for small groups, offering unrivalled access to an expert guide who will be happy to answer (or at

    Over recent weeks we've been asked why we limit our tour group size to a maximum of seven guests. There are two reasons for doing this. Firstly, most of the sites we visit are not established tourist attractions and, therefore,have very limited places for parking vehicles (sometimes requiring us to park as safely as we can on verges). For this reason we like to ensure there are no more than three cars on each tour.   The second reason is that keeping our groups small means we can focus more on the needs and questions of our guests. Our tours provoke lots of questions so we like to spend some time exploring the answers with you. Experience shows us that a group of six is perfect for these types of discussions and debates.     #brittany #brittanyholiday #archaeologytour #archaeology

Take a walk with an archaeologist. Join me as I visit some of the fascinating prehistoric sites of Brittany. From July 2021 I will be offering a range of half-day and full-day guided tours in the Breton countryside. Faites une promenade avec un archéologue. Rejoignez-moi pour visiter certains des sites préhistoriques fascinants de la Bretagne. A partir de juillet 2021 je proposerai une gamme de visites guidées à la demi-journée et à la journée dans la campagne bretonne.  Veuillez noter que dans un avenir prévisible, toutes les visites seront en anglais. Brittany is rightly famous for some of the most spectacular prehistoric sites you'll find anywhere in Europe, from the awesome alignments of megaliths at Carnac to the beautifully carved interior of Gavrinis in the Gulf of Morbihan. Some of these sites are open to the public as paid attractions with museum displays and plenty of memorabilia on sale. You can, of course, visit these as and when you wish without the need for a speciali
