Go back 'hundreds of thousands of years' on a Brittany holiday

Brittany is reportedly home to Europe's largest museum of prehistory and the museum specialises in artefacts that dating back to prehistoric and Roman times.

Tracing the history of the local area, the exceptional attraction has collections that date all the way back to 450,000 BC and Stone Age man.

Located in Carnac, visitors can also take a trip around the small town, which is famous for being home to thousands of giant prehistoric stones that rank alongside Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt in terms of important historic sites.

For those who wish to discover such delights, a villa in Quiberon could be just the ticket.

Located just a short drive away from Carnac on a dramatic rocky peninsula, Quiberon offers an exceptional sandy beach, which has also been there for hundreds of thousands of years.
