The Pointe du Raz is undoubtedly Brittany’s most famous site, attracting over a million visitors a year. It has been awarded the Grand Site de France label.
The point marks the westernmost tip of France… Or so they say! It is famous throughout the world.
At the very end of Cap Sizun, Pointe du Raz is one of those spectacular places where the land wages its final battle with the ocean.
Steep cliffs, battered by the winds and waves of the Atlantic, discover the island of Sein in the distance on a clear day.
The best way to appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the Pointe du Raz is not to go to the esplanade at the tip of the cape.
It is also a biodiversity reserve that is home to rare species protected under sustainable management practices.
Be sure to visit its lesser-known twin, Pointe du Van, which offers magnificent views of Baie des Trépassés, Pointe du Raz, the islet of Tévennec, and the island of Sein in the distance, not to mention the Saint-They chapel.
