Cap Fréhel

Cap Fréhel is a peninsula in Côtes-d'Armor, in northern Brittany, France which extends off the Côte d'Émeraude into the Golfe de Saint-Malo.

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.

The whole of the undulating terrain is covered in moorland and marshes, which make it difficult to construct any structure on the site.

Cap Fréhel gives its name to Cape Freels when sailors from Newfoundland begin to fish Atlantic cod.

They are visible from the cape most of the time, and their visual impact on this natural site has been denounced by activists and local associations.
