Point du Raz, l'Escoff.
AOK 7, KVA C1, KV.Gr. Quimper, KVU.Gr. Douarnenez, Qu 13.

This radar complex, "Luftwaffe station Renntier", can be found north/west of the small village l'Escoff at Pointe du Raz. The L485 Mammut bunker is clearly visible in the fields so just follow some small paths into the field.

There are lots of bunkers scattered around the place; several Vf. shelters type 1b, a nice 667 casemate for a 5cm KwK, a Flak emplacement and an emplacement for a searchlight with an attached shelter. The big boy at this location, the L485 Mammut bunker is open but in a poor condition. Note the nice entrance of the bunker with the concrete road leading to the entrance with its covering wall. We found a covered bunker that clearly had the shape of a St. bunker and measurements gave us the idea of a 622 personnel bunker (?).

Types:
1x L485 Bunker for "Mammut" radar.
1x 667 Small embrasured emplacement for 5cm tank gun.
2x 621 Group bunker.
3x Vf1b Shelter for up to 6 men.
1x Searchlight emplacement.
1x Tobruk58c.
2x Remains.

Point du Raz, South.
AOK 7, KVA C1, KV.Gr. Quimper, KVU.Gr. Douarnenez, Qu 500.

The bunkers are located on the pointe. Park the car at the big parking-place and walk towards the pointe. The bunkers are scattered over the terrain. Some are difficult to find.

The visible bunkers are the three Flak emplacements, type L409A (2x) and one L410. There are several radars built on this site; two times a Wurzburg socle and one larger emplacement for a Freya radar, nowadays a tourist platform. The huge night-fighter control bunker L479, is hard to find but still open as far as we could see, because we were not able to enter the bunker at the time. The other smaller bunkers and the personnel bunkers lie scattered around the place and most of them are open.

Types:
1x L479 Bunker for night-fighter control "Anton". (Jafü)
2x L409a Gun emplacement for 3.7cm AA gun.
1x L410 Gun emplacement for 3.7cm AA with section command post.
2x 622 Twin group bunker.
2x Würzburg radar socle.
1x Freya radar emplacement.
1x Central telephone building.
1x Tobruk58c.
