Pointe de la torche, a must in the Bigouden region

La pointe de la Torche (Beg to Dorchenn, de son nom breton) and a presqu'île naturelle barrant l'extrémité sud-est de la baie d'Audierne, sur la commune de Plomeur, en pays Bigouden, dans le Finistère, en Brittany.
(Fr.wikipedia.org)

The Pointe de la Torche (short often La Torche) is located north of Penmarch in Finistère, at the southern end of the Bay of Audierne. The magnificent headland is in danger of becoming an island due to erosion. Therefore the request to all who come here: Stay in this unique landscape on the paths!
The peninsula was already around 5000 BC. Inhabited by Mesolithic fishermen and collectors. In the 1880s, the French archaeologist Paul du Chatellier found the skeleton of a Mesolithic man. On the promontory in the sea is Beg an Dorchenn, a dolmen excavated in 1946 with side chambers, which was probably extended in the late Neolithic by a passage.

A great beach for relaxing and swimming in summer, a hotspot for surfers and windsurfers all year round. In addition, the peninsula provides a reference point to the millennia-old history of Brittany.
