The approximately 2.6-meter-high stone is made of granite typical of the region and stands out for its slender, towering shape. As with many megaliths in Brittany, its original meaning is not clearly handed down. However, it is scientifically proven that it dates from the prehistoric era and was likely erected as part of the Neolithic megalithic culture. The stone received its current name through local folklore. According to Breton legends, it is said to be the finger of the giant Gargantua, who supposedly left it behind during his travels through the landscape. These tales belong to the rich world of Breton legends.

On the way to Fort La Latte, you encounter a special stone relic from times long past: the Doigt de Gargantua („Gargantua’s Finger“). The upright granite stone is a menhir from the Neolithic period and thus several millennia older than the medieval fortress. It serves as a reminder that the landscape around the Breton coast was already used and shaped by humans long before the construction of the castle.

Incredibly beautiful here. The wild coast, the colorful heather, the scent of the sea. Simply magnificent!

Plage du Guen is part of the protected landscape surrounding Cap d'Erquy. Nestled between gently rolling heathland slopes, this unspoiled beach reveals its tranquil, pristine side. Fine, pale sand and the changing colors of the sea dominate the landscape, while heather, broom, and pine trees grow in the hinterland. At low tide, rocks and small tidal pools emerge, and the expansive view across the bay extends all the way to Cap Fréhel. Since the beach is only accessible via narrow paths and lacks any tourist infrastructure, it remains a quiet spot—ideal for hikes, nature observation, and moments of tranquility by the sea.

The lighthouse stands impressively on the up to 70-meter-high cliffs of the Emerald Coast and is one of Brittany's most famous landmarks. The current tower was built between 1946 and 1950 and still fulfills its important role as a navigational aid today. From the viewing platform, there is an impressive panoramic view over the vastness of the sea, the steep rocky cliffs, and the offshore islands. Ascent to the lighthouse is possible from 2:00 PM. Admission for adults is €3 per person.

Quite nice here 😉 At least for a little picnic and break, as the coastal path is quite challenging.
