Cap Fréhel, Coastal promontory in Côtes-d'Armor, France
The sandstone cliffs of Cap Fréhel rise 70 meters above the sea, forming a natural barrier along the northern coast of Brittany.
The first lighthouse at Cap Fréhel was constructed in 1685, while the current structure dates from 1950 and reaches a height of 100 meters.
The promontory houses a bird sanctuary where northern fulmars, guillemots, and cormorants nest among the rocks throughout summer months.
Visitors can access the site via the GR34 hiking trail, which connects Fort La Latte to the lighthouse through a 90-minute coastal walk.
The lighthouse beam at Cap Fréhel extends 53 kilometers into the sea, making it one of the most powerful maritime signals in France.
