Here, Finistère fully justifies its name: the end of the land is celebrated in a parade of capes and promontories that brave the open sea. Classified as a “Grand site de France”, the Pointe du Raz rises to some 70 meters in height. Sculpted by the ocean and the winds, it alone is worth the trip to the region. Opposite it, the square lighthouse of the islet of La Vieille, lit in 1887, was automated in 1995. Beyond the untamed rocks and the emerald sea, the panorama over the open sea allows you to admire the island of Sein and on a clear day the Ar Men lighthouse.

By bike, you can take the Point du Raz to the Sémaphore. At the visitor center, keep north / right and just take the shuttle bus route. At Sémaphore you can turn off the bike, and then: pieds à terre (and as firm footwear).

Very rough and impressive place. With the bike a bit far-off cars, campers, tourist buses are usually all there before and make the erkaempfte view something. From the inlet in the direction of the lighthouse there are also a few hundred meters which you have to cover on foot.
