Pointe des Émigrés, Protected coastal cape in Vannes, France
The Pointe des Émigrés extends across 31 hectares of natural terrain, featuring woodlands, meadows, marshes, and mudflats along the Gulf of Morbihan coast.
The cape received its name following the execution of 259 émigrés in Vannes during 1795, after an unsuccessful military landing at Quiberon.
The preservation efforts at Pointe des Émigrés include maintaining a community orchard with traditional fruit varieties and supporting environmental education through interpretive trails.
Visitors can explore more than 4,500 meters of marked paths while observing numerous bird species, including gray herons, common snipes, and wintering waterfowl.
Two coastal rocks at the site display natural formations resembling the profiles of French monarchs Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
