Jutting out into the sea, Bihit Point offers a magnificent panoramic view. The grey, jagged rock which forms this headland and the small island to its left, Île Mignonne, is the oldest in Europe. It is very different from the pink, rounded rock found on Le Castel and Île Milliau (to the right looking out to sea) which is one of the most recently-formed granite rocks in Armorica. This pink granite (or red granite to be more scientifically accurate) comes from igneous rocks which came to the surface and cooled very slowly, resulting in several concentric rings. The 2 billion-year-old rock forming Bihit Point, located at the edge of one of these rings, has thus been joined by granite only 300 million years old alongside it! You can continue your walk on the sandy beach at PorsMabo.
