Pointe des Émigrés, Protected coastal area in Vannes, France.

The coastal site extends over 31 hectares, featuring meadows, marshes, heathlands, and woodlands along the Gulf of Morbihan's shoreline.

In 1795, following the failed landing at Quiberon, 259 French nobles were executed at this location during the French Revolution.

The site maintains traditional land management practices through sheep and donkey grazing, preserving centuries-old agricultural methods.

The area contains 4,500 meters of accessible pathways, including routes adapted for visitors with reduced mobility.

The protected orchard contains rare fruit tree varieties that are no longer suitable for modern cultivation methods.
