The vast nave, the porches adorned with fine sculptures from the middle of the 12th century, and the magnificent 12th- and 13th-century stained-glass windows, all in remarkable condition, combine to make it a masterpiece.

- Gavrinis Tumulus (earth mound) on island in Gulf of Morbihan - best carvings in the Carnac/Locmariaquer area. 23 of the 29 upright passage and chamber stones are carved, as well as the chamber capstone. Most of the stones are decorated with swirls (look like fingerprints) and most have been smoothed before carved.
- Circles of Er Lannic - Island south of Gavr'Inis in Gulf of Morbihan - 2 tangential circles; 28 stones in north circle, 32 in south circle; stones 2-5 meters high. Half of north circle and all of south circle are submerged; evidence that sea level has risen and Gulf flooded since circles were built
- Forest of Broceliande - Center of the Merlin Tradition in France - The forest of Paimpont covers 27 square miles. Here is Broceliande, which exists in our dreams, but not on any official map. Meet there Morgan, Vivien le Fey, Lancelot, Merlin the Magician, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Brocéliande is the remnant of a vast primeval forest which in the first centuries A.D. covered the interior of Brittany stretching from Rennes to Rostrenen. This dense shadowy forest has spawned numerous mysteries & legends including one of the most famous legends in western mythology. One of the best known inhabitants of the forest was Merlin the Magician. Visit the Valley of No Return, Merlin’s Grave, Hotie de Viviane, the Hindres Oak, & Trehorenteuc Church - blend of Celtic, Christian & Arthurian - Stained-glass windows combine Celtic (triskells, the colour purple as a symbol of harmony, oaks and acorns) and Christian symbols as well as Arthurian story.

Who Are These Tours
Designed For?
These tours are designed for women as well as men; young or not so young; people interested in the mystery and sacredness of life, with a desire to know and understand more of where we've come from to assist us in where we are going and making a difference on the planet. We also explore a lot of newly discovered/released information that you may not have heard before. If you have a curiosity about mythology, sacred sites, other cultures, and a sense of adventure and want to travel with like-minded people in small intimate groups with a nice balance of workshop time, site time as well as free, independent time, these tours are designed for you. They are not your ordinary, large group tours, being herded into buses with little time to experience the energy of the site. We allow special extra time at sacred sites and there is always the option of being with the group or being on your own. Also, meals are usually not included, except breakfasts to afford you the opportunity to explore on your own at meal time or eat with the group.
We want your tour to be a trip of a lifetime, a transformative adventure
