The key to understanding the megaliths is a visit to the on-site visitor center. This will not take up much time and is well worth it because it aids in enhancing the sense of awe that you feel from looking at the megaliths themselves. There is a very informative film available in the center, as well as some helpful publications.

This Neolithic site features three large megaliths which have become symbols of Brittany: the Grand Menhir brisé, the Dolmen de la Table des Marchand and the Tumulus d'Er Grah de Locmariaquer, dating back to between 4700 and 3800 BC. The Grand Menhir Brisé is a huge, broken granite block and is the largest known stele in Europe. The Tumulus d’Er-Grah and the Dolmen de la Table des Marchand provide an exceptional insight into the ancient funeral rites practised in Brittany at the time. A gallery leads to the underground burial chamber and some of the walls have been engraved with hieroglyphics. The tour is an ideal introduction to the architecture and civilisation of the megalithic age, in a stunning natural environment with superb views of the Golfe du Morbihan.

The tumulus is about twenty minutes' walk from the point where it is signed off the D196, across the road from the parking areafor the Geant of Manio. The walk follows the path marked as Kerhoch on Google Maps, and eventually makesa 90 degree turn right. At the crossway bear left, and you will see the tumulus in an open area on your right - just past an Indian restaurant, which is in a totally unlkely setting. The tumulus is privately owned, but there is ready access - an honesty box requests donations towards thecost of upkeep, andfor the interior lighting. There is a small writeup at the gate wherethe honesty box is located. You can enter the tumulus, a few people at a time, taking advantage of the lighting for which there is a switch at the entrance. Most people bump heads on the lintel stone. You are quite likely to have the area to yourself, and it is a very worthwhile visit - and the walk is lovely.
