Bretagne/Brittany, Finistère. Pointe du Raz in the distance, as seen from the Ile de Sein.
This used to be considered to be the end of the world.
"The image of Sein from the sea is an unforgettable one as its highest point is just 20ft (6m) above sea level. The saying goes ‘qui voit Sein, voit sa fin’ (he who sees Sein, sees his end) primarily because of the dangerous reefs in the area which caused many a shipwreck in past centuries – in fact, the first inhabitants were castaways. Boats leave from Audierne – the journey takes about an hour – and arrive in one of the village’s two harbours."
