This postcard presents L’Aiguille et le Gouffre—“The Needle and the Gulf”—two iconic geological features of Cap Fréhel on the northern coast of Brittany.
Cap Fréhel has long captivated travelers, artists, and geologists alike. Formed over 400 million years ago, the cape's striking cliffs—reaching heights over 70 meters—are part of the Armorican Massif. The area is famous for its distinctive red-hued schist and pink sandstone, which weather into unusual vertical columns like L’Aiguille. These formations have been shaped by relentless wind and wave erosion.
