3. Pointe du RazPlogoff The Pointe du Raz is a promontory that extends into the Atlantic from western Brittany, in France. The local Breton name is Beg ar Raz. It is the western point of the commune of Plogoff, Finistère. It is named after the Raz de Sein, the dangerous stretch of water between it and the island of Sein .

Journey's End - Stations with no trains - Scrignac and Kermeur, Brittany
For years the lifeline for local people, this Breton Railway line is now a distant memory. Nature has taken over, birds nest in the buildings, butterflies flit between wild flowers on the embankments, and cyclists and ramblers have replaced the sound of locomotives and carriages where the track bed used to be. The track bed is wheelchair accessible and runs for many kilometres betwixt Morlaix and Carhaix. The soundtrack is from a UK steam train recording on YouTube - so not a French locomotive.
Google translation: Pendant des années, la ligne de vie pour les populations locales, cette ligne de chemin de fer Breton est désormais un lointain souvenir. La nature a repris, nid d'oiseaux dans les bâtiments, les papillons voltigent entre les fleurs sauvages sur les quais, et les cyclistes et les randonneurs ont remplacé le bruit des locomotives et wagons où le lit de la piste était. Le lit de la piste est accessible aux fauteuils roulants et fonctionne sur plusieurs kilomètres entre Morlaix et Carhaix. La bande son est d'une vapeur enregistrement de train au Royaume-Uni sur YouTube - donc pas une locomotive française.
