Please join this weekly meme. Grab a copy of the photo above and link back to An Accidental Blog. Share with the rest of us your passion for France. Did you read a good book set in France? See a movie? Take a photo in France? Have an adventure? Eat a fabulous meal or even just a pastry? Or if you're in France now, go ahead and lord it over the rest of us. We can take it.
Maybe we can all satisfy our yearnings for France, until we get there again.
When Earl and I visited France in 2010, we stayed with friends in Nantes. They are the most energetic tour guides ever. They took us to see the standing stones of Carnac. Here's the Wikipedia article on the stones.
I always pictured an arrangement of standing stones similar to Stonehenge, but these stones went on for miles and miles and miles. More than 3000 stones are set upright in green fields. History says the stones are pre-Celtic and that most were erected around 3,300 B.C.
Seeing all of the stones only made me more curious.

What a great place. I hadn't really heard of the standing stones of France til I read Le Road Trip recently, and now here they are! It looks quite an amazing sight to see.
I did wonder when I saw them how they ever got there and why they were like that. I must confess that after I saw some I thought okay they are just rocks. The day I visited I had the best mussels and fries at a seaside town.
This is the first time I'm hearing of that and I can't imagine why!
A fantastique find.

Never been to Nantes....looks as tho it will appear on my "to do list"..
There are so many places in France to visit, and I can hear Paris calling my name again.

I am having trouble remembering to link but will try to do better. I am reading the unabridged (English) Les Miserables and am almost finished with the 1,474 pages... but who is counting. I love it.
