Pointe de PernA few details concerning Pern Point , the most western extremity of metropolitan france.

All of Pern Point is a classified area, including  the rocks. The south face of one  of these rocks is painted white and constitutes a landmark used by those navigating in the local waters to find their way among the surrounding reefs.

Also to be seen on the Point are the ruins known locally as the "Villa of the Storms". It  housed a steam-driven foghorn between 1885 and 1900. Slighly further north stands another ruin which also used to house a foghorn, that one being powered by  a horse drawn roundabout.
