A symbol of Brittany, with the sea whipping its feet, the cliffs make impressive but sporadic scenery along the coast. Their changing colours and the combination of wind and sea offer visitors some spectacular scenery which makes you feel the force and freedom of nature. The most famous cliffs are those of Crozon Peninsula (the highest peaks at 328 ft), The cliffs of the Goëlo Coast and Cap Fréhel (Fréhel Head), and those of the rocky peak of the Pointe du Raz with their diverse fauna (cormorants, gannets, petrels, etc.).
