Geology and History at Semaphore de Tulingue, Brittany

On the Presque Isle of Crozon in Brittany lies the Semaphore de Tulingue, a site where geology and history collide.

This geopark showcases a fascinating mix of rocks: granite, schist, and marble, alongside quaternary sands that may once have linked what was likely an island to the mainland. The ancient geology here sits alongside more recent history, from the military semaphore station that still operates today to World War Two German fortifications overlooking the beaches.

Join me as I explore the rocks, landscapes, and layers of history at this remarkable location.
