Crows' Point
Highlight • Other
From prehistory to the 17th century, a megalith stood there. In 1657, a redoubt (small independent fortification) was built there. Two centuries later, in 1862, it was razed to allow the construction of a lighthouse. The latter was dynamited in 1944 to be rebuilt six years later.
Notably, the last lighthouse keeper was a female keeper.

Plage des Ovaires
Highlight • Beach
Along the moors or groves of pines that border the beach, leaving the beaten track to come and enjoy the sand and water turns out to be a pleasant experience.
Picnic tables are available along the beach, to have a bite to eat or more simply to rest to the delicious sound of the backwash of the waves.
Be careful, if you arrive from the Pointe des Corbeaux, the beach is sometimes frequented by a few naturists for about 500 meters.
