Cap Frehel

Le cap Fréhel est une pointe de grès rose au relief tourmenté qui sépare à l'est la baie de Saint-Brieuc de la baie de Saint-Malo, sur la côte de la Manche. Il est situé sur la commune de Plévenon et non sur celle, limitrophe, de Fréhel, comme pourrait le laisser penser le nom de cette dernière, dans le département français des Côtes-d'Armor. Ce cap compte parmi les plus impressionnants de Bretagne : la falaise domine la mer d'environ 70 mètres.

Le cap Fréhel est classé pour son intérêt ornithologique et pour le bon état de conservation des landes côtières.

 

Cap Fréhel is a peninsula in Côtes-d'Armor, in northern Brittany, France which extends off the Côte d'Émeraude into the Bay of Saint-Malo. The cap is located 8.5 km from the town centre of Fréhel, although, administratively, it is located within the territory of the commune of Plévenon.

The peninsula is surrounded mainly by cliffs, which make it difficult to access it via sea. The whole of the undulating terrain is covered in moorland and marshes, which make it difficult to construct any structure on the site. No towns or villages are situated on the peninsula; however, two lighthouses, one from the 17th century and the other one from 1950, are located at the tip of it.
