Carnac is famous as the site of more than 10,000 standing stones, also known as menhirs. The stones were cut from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany. Local tradition claims that the reason they stand in such perfectly straight lines is that they are a Roman Legion turned to stone by Merlin the Magician.
