Pointe Du Raz
The Pointe du Raz is a promontory that extends into the Atlantic from western Brittany, in France. The local Breton name is ''Beg ar Raz''. It is the western point of the ''commune'' of Plogoff, Finistère. It is named after the ''Raz de Sein'', the dangerous stretch of water between it and the island of Sein (''Enez Sun'' in Breton). It is a dramatic place of crashing waves and strong winds. The word ''raz'' was borrowed from Norman by the Bretons and shares the same etymology as the English word race, "strong current of water"; both are from Old Norse ''rás''. It also marks the western end of the 3,200 km E5 European long distance path to Venice in Italy. The "La Vieille" lighthouse can be clearly seen from the headland. Although it is not quite the westernmost extent of France—that would be Pointe de Corsen, just to the north—its rocky isolation makes it a popular tourist destination, comparable in some ways to Land's End Land's End ( kw, Penn an Wlas or ''Ped ...
