Carnac is a small town of 4,000 people and is mostly known for its prehistoric megalithic monuments. A tour of the numerous megalithic monuments(alignments, dolmens etc) makes a fascinating excursion.
There is also The Museum of Prehistory in Carnac which covers prehistory from the lower Paleolithic (450 000 BC) to the early Middle Ages. There are lots of theories but no real proof of how these stone monuments ended up in this area.

"looked nice!"
I was only there a couple of nights, and it was on business, so not much chance to get a real impression.
However, it seemed interesting. It is the administrative centre for Brittany, and I think they'd had a wee riot the week before we were there.
"impressions"
I remember one excellent dinner, but not the name of the restaurant!
I also remember it was hard to get there - flight to Gatwick, then a wee Brit Air turbo prop (which seemed to be minus the turbo) and a brief stop in Deauville.
