Tuesday 18th October - Let's discover the neolithic site of Quelfénec

Did you know that 2 to 3 million axe heads came from Central Brittany and were exported all over Europe? 

The site of Quelfénec is marked by the Neolithic exploitation of dolerite, a particularly dense, hard eruptive rock, ideal for the manufacture of polished axes and adzes. Significant quarrying activity took place on this rock outcrop from 4200 BC and for almost 2000 years.

We are lucky to have an English-speaking guide to take us round the exhibition before taking an easy 1.2km walk through a protected environment to the production site itself.

There we'll enjoy the diversity of nature, home to mammals with 13 species of bats including the European Barbastelle, plus the dormouse, an emblematic species found on the edge of woods and forests.

Meet at the Mairie de Plussulien, 23 rue du Centre, Plussulien, at 2pm. 8€ per person.

Please reserve.
