    A quite unique pebble promontory (sillon) which juts out into the sea by about 3km. Giving you the unique perspective of having the sea on both sides of you. An important nature reserve for nesting sea birds.

      The Sillon de Talbert, a natural spectacle of a special kind.
      The Sillon is a 35-meter-wide headland that extends three kilometers into the sea. At high tide it is completely submerged, at low tide it opens up a hiking trail that reveals an extremely diverse flora and fauna. You can observe numerous species of birds here, or photograph sea kale and blue thistles.
      According to myth, the magician Merlin conjured up the path to get to his fairy Viviane, who lived on the island of Talbert. According to another legend, Morgane fell in love with King Arthur on the island of Talbert. Since she could not get to him, she threw stones into the sea, which then turned into this headland.
      As mystical and magical as these legends sound, the headland of pebbles and stones was actually created by the Trieux and Jaudy rivers, which flow into the sea on both sides of the peninsula.
      When visiting the Sillon de Talbert, the tide times must be observed. The headland is only passable for a few hours at low tide. Warning signs indicate this and indicate visiting times. The coast guard has often been called out and rescued people trapped by the sea from their predicament.

        A great nature reserve. The trail leads to the sea for about 3.5 km. The dam was formed about 6,000 years ago.
        There is an excellent restaurant and a bar creperie a little further, each with a sensational view.
