The ruins of the abbey facing the sea give the place a special atmosphere. Abandoned after the Revolution, it contrasts with the lighthouse and its technological equipment right next to it.

Directly at the lighthouses, there are still many ruins of Saint-Mathieu Abbey Church.

The impressive ruins of the abbey are, you might think, at the end of the world.
