[Stones] Gavrinis

[Wolf Thandoy]

Hi Rowan,

Can't say as I do exactly, only I have an idea how I might approach  
such a thing (never having done so) - depending on one's  
qualifications (or lack thereof)...


A 'top-down' approach would seemingly involve going through channels  
with the Ministry of Culture
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/

Whereas a 'bottom-up' strategy suggests making contact with:
  - others who have done so in the past, or are in the process of  
applying: authors, academics, photographers (try a Google image  
search and e-mail resulting contacts?)
  - local archaeologists, artists, tour guides or others, possibly  
through the
  - Université de Bretagne-Sud, Vannes
	http://www.univ-ubs.fr/
  - Museums

(All this assuming that the traditional sidewards angles (beg,  
borrow, steal, bribe) hold no attraction.)


Generally I favour a 'shotgun' approach - try everything at once and  
see what gives - though in this case I would place more faith in the  
'bottom-up' tactic...

I'd start by ringing up the site stewards and asking them.

This page shows Gavrinis' schedule and phone number (and those of  
other sites in the area)

And this page the museums

fsguidmus_en.htm


I'm visiting friends not altogether far from there at the moment,  
though it's shut to 'tourists' in the off season - when I swung by  
for a look from the nearest shoreline nearly a year ago I could see  
through the field glasses some men clearing and burning brush.


Happy hunting and foraging,

Wolf
