Origin and history

The Menhirs de Beg-er-Goh-Lannec are megalithic remains located in the municipality of Quiberon, Brittany. These erect stones, characteristic of prehistoric heritage, bear witness to ancient cultural and ritual practices, although their precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources. Menhirs in the Breton region were often associated with symbolic or funerary functions within neolithic communities.

Their presence in Quiberon is part of a wider landscape of megalithic sites, reflecting the importance of these monuments in the spatial and spiritual organization of the local populations of the time.
