In this article: The Lighthouses at the End of the World
The two "lighthouses at the end of the world" called Phare de la Vieille and Tourelle de la Plate stand in the open sea off the Pointe du Raz on the west coast of Brittany in the Finistère department. Together with the Phare de Tévennec lighthouse, they mark the passage between the Pointe du Raz and the island of Île de Sein.
The Pointe du Raz is a rocky cape that forms the end of Cap Sizun. The rugged cliff, which juts out into the sea with a height difference of 72 meters, is one of the most characteristic pointes of the Breton coast.
Numerous legends surround the area of the Pointe du Raz. The Hell of Plogoff, a tunnel dug into the cape by the sea, is said to be the place where drowned people gather - their gurgling groans can be heard from a great distance.
