Pointe de Grave

The American monument marking the country's entry into World War 1 as it was proposed in 1921

The Pointe de Grave (in occitan : Punta de Grava) is the northernmost tip of the Médoc Peninsula and marks the Northern end of the pine-clad sandy Landes coastline of Western France. It lies in the commune of Le Verdon-sur-Mer and across the Gironde Estuary from the resort town of Royan.

The offshore Cordouan lighthouse lies off the point and a second lighthouse, on the shore, houses a lighthouse museum.
