Pointe du Millier, Rocky cape in Beuzec-Cap-Sizun, France

The steep cliffs of Pointe du Millier rise 70 meters above sea level, forming a natural boundary between the Bay of Douarnenez and the Iroise Sea.

The construction of the granite lighthouse in 1881 marked a significant improvement in maritime navigation, with its beacon positioned 34 meters above sea level.

The vertical water mill built in 1868 remained operational until 1958, demonstrating traditional Breton grain processing methods through its bucket wheel mechanism.

Visitors can access the site through multiple hiking paths, including the GR34 coastal trail that connects to the lighthouse and provides views of the bay.

The protected natural area contains an 8-meter-long granite block known as Saint Conogan's stone boat, hidden without any directional signs.
