CHAPTER III.
CARNAC.
The field of Carnac is a large, open space where eleven rows of black stones are aligned at symmetrical intervals.

They diminish in size as they recede from the ocean.

Cambry asserts that there were four thousand of these rocks and Freminville has counted twelve hundred of them.

They are certainly very numerous.
What was their use?
Was it a temple?
One day Saint Cornille, pursued along the shore by soldiers, was about to jump into the ocean, when he thought of changing them all into stone, and forthwith the men were petrified.

But this explanation was good only for fools, little children, and poets.
