Château Dubuc

The ruins of this 17th-century estate are set almost at the end of the peninsula and are a haunting and atmospheric sight. The master of the estate apparently gained notoriety by using a lantern to lure ships into wrecking off the coast, and then gathering the loot. Now it's a superbly run attraction, and your entry fee gets you an excellent audio-tour that really brings the place to life. Give yourself plenty of time here, as it's an enormous site.

Several hiking trails start from here too, including a 3km walk to the site of a historic lighthouse from where there are great views.

To get here from Tartane, you'll need to have your own wheels (the road is unpaved, but you don't need a 4WD).
