Pointe du Raz is a striking headland located in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. Renowned for its dramatic cliffs and breathtaking coastal scenery, it serves as a prominent landmark along the Atlantic Ocean.

The headland is not only a visual marvel but also holds significant historical and cultural importance. It has been a navigational point for sailors for centuries, with its lighthouse, the Phare de la Vieille, guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters. The region is steeped in local legends and folklore, adding to its allure.
