Cupula granite rock point near the western part of Parcel B 89: by order of 30 April 1930

Origin and history

The coupula rocks of Pointe Saint-Julien, located in Quiberon, Morbihan, constitute a listed historical monument. These granite formations, marked by cavities called cupules, are located to the west of Parcel B 89, near the coast. Their presence bears witness to a geological and potentially archaeological heritage, although their precise dating and original use are not explicitly detailed in the available sources.

The classification of this site by order of 30 April 1930 underlines its heritage importance. The location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 7/10), is specified at 49 Boulevard du Castero in Quiberon. This type of monument, often associated with prehistoric or ritual practices, is part of a coastal Breton landscape marked by a rich geological and human history.
