Pointe du Toulinguet, Rocky cape and military fortification in Camaret-sur-Mer, France.
The Toulinguet Point rises 60 meters above sea level at the western end of the Crozon peninsula, featuring limestone cliffs and marine caves.
Napoleon ordered the construction of a square tower in 1812, adding to the earlier defensive structures built by Vauban around 1695.
The largest cave at Toulinguet Point bears the name of Marie Le Vec, commemorating a person who became trapped by rising tides.
Access to the military site is limited throughout the year, except during Heritage Days when visitors can explore the fortifications and lighthouse.
The signal station established in 1949 continues its maritime operations, monitoring naval traffic and weather conditions in the Atlantic approaches.
