Couronne du roi Gradlon, Pink granite rock formation at Trégastel, France.
The granite stone stands prominently on the coast, displaying irregular shapes that create a crown-like silhouette against the Brittany sky.
The formation received its name from King Gradlon, a ruler from the 4th century who governed the ancient region of Cornouaille in Brittany.
The rock formation connects to Breton folklore through tales of King Gradlon and the submerged city of Ys, passed down through generations.
Visitors can reach the formation via marked paths from the Grève Blanche beach parking area or through Rue du Panorama in Trégastel.
From the summit, observers can spot the Tanguy and Rabbit islands while using the orientation table to identify coastal landmarks.
