An Emerald Coast cape

Located on the northern coast of Brittany and near the western edge of the Emerald Coast, Fort-la-Latte was built in the 14th century to repel invaders, but now welcomes its fair share of tourists. This area of the English Channel got its colorful 'emerald' nickname from a French businessman hoping to repeat the renown of a 'sky blue' coast roughly 800 miles south on France's Mediterranean shore. Fort-la-Latte is far from the only piece of history hereabouts: Nearby Cap Fréhel boasts two distinctive lighthouses, one opened in 1950 and an older one built in the 1700s by order of Louis XIV.
