The Rocher du Squewel is a striking pink granite rock. Located directly on the Sentier des Douaniers, the historic coastal path of the customs officers, it offers impressive views of the sea, the coastal formations, and the surrounding granite boulders. The surrounding area is characterized by bizarre rock formations and small coves.

PINK GRANITE COAST

Highlight • Other

The characteristic pink color of the Granite Coast is caused by the feldspar in the rock. About 300 million years ago, the area lay deep beneath the Hercynian mountain range in a magma chamber. Slow cooling, tectonic uplift, and subsequent weathering eventually exposed the granite masses. Over millions of years, erosion by sea, wind, and rain shaped the typical landscapes with large, isolated granite boulders and bizarre rock formations.
