Hiking
This stone column, covered with a layer of white limestone, 25 m high, in the shape of an arch, is a coastal point near the cliffs of Plouha and is in line with its twin sister which stands 1 km to the south-west near the village of La Trinité. Both facilitate the navigation of ships approaching the coast.
The Breton vernacular calls it "the tower without a butt" or "the upside down donkey".

Supplement to Lutz-Berlin:
The "half tower" visible above the harbor is the Tour-amer de Porz Moguer. It is not a defensive tower or a lighthouse, but a so-called Amer – a fixed sea mark that served as a guide for sailors. The structure dates from the 19th century and was part of a navigation system that allowed ships to safely approach the rocky coast.
