Campsite Pointe du Raz
Discover the Pointe du Raz
” Here ends the old world, this is its most advanced point. “Gustave Flaubert.
Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo are among the writers who have greatly contributed to the international fame of the Pointe du Raz. Located at the extreme tip of Finistère, this mineral spur juts out into one of the strongest currents in Europe, the Sein Raz. Impressive, it culminates at 70 m above sea level.
Beaten by the winds, this site attracts every year 1 million visitors who come to rub shoulders with the elements. The very high number of visitors and the anarchic construction of hotels and resorts have, over time, taken over the moorland present on the site.
In 1989, the first protective measures were finally taken. Today, Grand Site National, the Pointe du Raz has regained its authenticity and the initial plant cover. The Pointe du Raz will offer you a grandiose panorama with a view on the Ile de Sein, the lighthouse of the Vieille and on a clear day on the Ar Men lighthouse.
