Cap Frehel

Cap-Frehel is a very scenic spot on the northern coast of Brittany west of Dinard.

A small peninsula, and easily walked around, Cap Frehel is set on high limestone cliffs overlooking the sea to the north, and the wild heather countryside of the region inland.

The views are very far-reaching and exceptional even for Brittany.

The location is also a designated bird reserve and a popular location with bird-spotters.

There are two lighthouses - one built by Louis XIV in 1650 and the other dating from 1950. The latter can be visited, and in clear weather even the Channel islands can be seen in the distance.

Plévenon and Fort-la-Latte are nearby. Fort la Latte is a 14th century castle in a clifftop location, and one of the most popular chateaux in Brittany.
